Why isn't 'time' part of the metric system and why don't we make it metric?

Umm, the length of the year is based on the revolution of the Earth around the sun.

Just get a binary clock and view your day in binary, keeps you on your toes….but I know, its not metric…interesting question though. I am all for more metric, but as mentioned soo many logistics.

There is already a metric time system. No one uses it.

@jetpilot8 my wrist watch is binary. I love it, and im the only one who can read the damn thing ^_^

@Marina… I think you could base the system on one year being a revolution around the sun, and then split that up into 10 months or something. you’d still have 365 days, which you divide into 10 hours or something…. yeah it doesn’t really work.

@uberbatman that is sweet! I have one, but not a wrist watch (jealous sigh)

@soundedfury THANKS on my way to check that out right away

@jcs007 sorry, done high jacking your thread / question

The current time system is practically use everywhere in world. It’s a major advantage compare to the metric system.

er… metric time doesn’t start till you get to the second and below and who wants to measure their work day in milliseconds and nanoseconds. I personally measure the amount of time I’m at work in ice-ages (or on a bad day leap ice-ages).

Isn’t it enough that we have military time, daylight savings time and time zones? Why complicate things further?

But still we never have enough time!
