Section 2 · What If?

Decimal Time System

French Revolution style: day is 10 hours, each hour 100 minutes.

Live: 01:42:53

dSec = dayFraction × 100000

100-Minute Hour

Keep 24-hour day but split each hour into 100 minutes.

12:50.00

newMin = oldMin × (100/60)

Metric Calendar

13 months × 28 days and day 365 as a year-end holiday.

Today: M3 D20

month = floor((dayOfYear-1)/28)+1

Alternative Temperature Scales

Convert Celsius to KiloDegree and shifted freezing-point scale.

KD: 785.61 · Shift50: 70.00

KiloDegree = (C+273.15)/373.15 × 1000

If Earth Had Different Size

With constant density, g scales with radius. Weight changes linearly.

70.00 kg (1.00x)

newWeight = weight × radiusMultiplier

Different Number Bases

Display decimal values in octal and duodecimal worlds.

Oct: 52 · Duo: 36

duodecimal uses digits 0-9,A,B

Distance at Light Speed

Convert km distance to travel time at c = 299792.458 km/s.

3.34 ms

t = distance / c
