You forgot decimal time!
We should stop this nonsense of having 24 hours a day, 60 minutes per hours, 60 seconds per minutes, 1000 ms per seconds.
Instead we switch to switch to decimal time: 10 hours a day, 100 minutes per hours and 100 second per minutes.
Or just switch to using base 12
Why not a base 16 then ?
12 is a superior highly composite number, which means it's easier to divide without running into fractions or decimals.
Interesting, I did not knew the concept
