minus-squareusualsuspect191@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up33arrow-down3·1 year agoWhy would metric time still use the same seconds? Surely it’d be a different unit that was a nice multiple of 10
minus-squareRob Bos@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up36·1 year agoThr second is already a metric SI unit. A day happens to be 86.4 kiloseconds. I’m not sure why that is weird. Redefining the second would be a lot of work for no real benefit. Hours, days, weeks are not metric, you wouldn’t really say kiloday or centiday.
