Why are you basing things off of seconds? The day is a constant defined by nature, I would much prefer a system based around the day. A second is actually pretty arbitrary.
- adestefan 13y agoThe length of a day is not constant.
- rjvir 13y agoClose enough
- dragonwriter 13y ago> The day is a constant defined by nature Well, there are several definitions of "day", (86.4 kiloseconds, calendar day, stellar day, sidereal day, and solar day, for five of the more common) and of all the definitions I am aware of, only 86.4 kiloseconds is constant.("Defined by nature" does not, itself, seem to be well-defined in a way which would distinguish most of them from the second.)
