Decimal Time   (0)  [vote for, against]
Time compatible with decimal multiplication tables.

We had to learn decimal multiplication tables at schools, but they are not very useful with base-60 hours/minutes/seconds, base-7 weeks, base-24 days, base-12 months, and base- Jesus years. Let's face it -- our calendar is a mess. Here was an idea from my childhood, trying to make my life easier:

1 year = 10 months
1 week = 10 days
1 day = 10 hours
1 hour = 100 minutes
1 minute = 100 seconds

=> 1 second = 0.864 standard SI seconds.
=> 1 month = 3~4 weeks. +> Time starts at Unix zero

>>> from detime import Date
>>> Date(1970, 1, 1)

It's both -- time and date.

Ok so it exists but to make it the standard that is the goal. You have a good Kiloday.

The only sensible way forward is to attach massive rockets at a tangent to the Earth's surface to speed up the Earth's rotation so that there are 1000 days in a year (or, I suppose, slow it down so that there are 100 days in a year)
