Previous Speculation: Heaven or Hell?

Subject: "Our Little Measurement of Time"

Okay, while to assume is to make an ass out of u and me, I assume you all understand our little concept of a 24 hour day. And each of those 24 hours is divided into 60 minutes, and each of those 60 minutes is divided into 60 seconds. How on earth does this make so much sense? Wait I am on earth and to others it makes sense, but non the less it si qutie challenging to figure out how to add times together. I have already figured that minutes and seconds only go up to 60 so there is never a time that is 6:66, I mean why else would you chose those denominations? Of course this is no dissimilar to my concept that if humans evolved with 12 fingers and toes in which case the first 2 digit number would have a value of 12 in our current system and defeats the superiority of the SI(metric) standard of measurement. Wellthen why cant there be 7 seconds? You shoudl really count like this 1,2,3,4,5,6,11,12,13,14,15,16,21,... and so on but alas the stupidity of humanity triumphs again. Now if scientists are so smart then how come their SI or metric unit of time is still the ordinary second. Micro-seconds make sense but anything above that is messed up.

     Now you probably think I am just a bumbling idiot with too much time on my hands and this paragraph is just to disprove one of those things(I hope). The earth spins at nearly the same rate each da so instead of dividing it into 24 hours, lets make it 10 kilocycles. A kilocycles being similar to hours yet not. Now each of those 10 kilocycles will be divided into 100 hecto-cycles which are similar to minutes yet not. Finally each hectocycle is divided into 100 cycles which would be my equivalent of seconds. Now after your done calling me a nerd I was really bored in a lot of physics classes last year when I wrote this and I made a chart.

1 Orbital cycle(1 year) = 12 Lunar cycles(12 months)

1 Lunar cycle (1 month) = 5 Mega cycles(5 weeks)

                                        30 or 31 Solar cycles (30, 31 days)

1 Mega cycle(1 week) = 6 Solar cycles(6 days)

1 Solar cycle (I day) = 10 kilocycles (24 hours)

1 kilocycle (2.4 hours) = 100 hectocycles (144 minutes)

1 hectocycle (1.44 minutes) = 100 cycles (86.4 seconds)

 

January - 30 Solar cycles

February - 31 Solar cycles

March - 30 Solar cycles

April - 31 Solar cycles

May - 30 Solar cycles

June - 31 Solar cycles

July - 30 Solar cycles

August - 31 Solar cycles

September - 30 Solar cycles

October - 31 Solar cycles

November - 30 Solar cycles

December - 30 or 31 Solar cycles (leap year)

     Now do I want \us all to conform to this immediately or really at all for that matter. This is really just to Erase the Unquestioned, to propose an alternate to a perfectly stable widley understood concept and basic "fact". That and I think I sound like some weird utopian type dude who watched too many Transformers episodes with their fancy cycles and all. Hey if I was only a writer I could start my own line of Sci-Fi books. I hope your brain is thoroughly rattled because my classes are now hard and I dont have time to sit their and ponder shit like this anymore.
