I see the ‘powers to be’ are considering the decimal clock / decimal time. Simple enough 100ds = 1dm = 1dh where ds = decimal seconds; dm = decimal minutes; and dh = decimal hours. So there will be 10dh in 1day. Equates to 100000 dseconds in 1day and 10000 dminutes in 1day. 1ds = 0.864 old seconds. 1dh = 2.4 old hours. No more 24hour clock which is usually split into two 12 hours just to cause more confusion. The dclock will start at midnight 0:00 hours 5:00 hours will be midday. The d clock face will look like this Any thoughts :beer: DaveH |
