[QUOTE="Still a Youth, post: 48841, member: 3229"] I've been digging around the history of the French Revolution lately, and came across the Decimal Calendar. Originally used in [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_time#China']ancient China[/URL], it was also advocated for, and more fully developed during the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Republican_calendar']French Revolution as a means of fully implementing the decimal system.[/URL] The standard method of keeping track of time is usually characterized by what is known as [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time']Coordinated Universal Time (UTC[/URL]). As we're all aware, UTC is characterized by 24 hour cycles in the day. Each hour is divided into 60 minutes, and each minute is divided into 60 seconds. However, with the decimal time, time would be counted in a much different way. The decimal system operates based on the number 10. So, each day would be divided by 10. Under UTC, midnight and noon are noted as 12:00. Meanwhile, under the decimal system, the day would be divided by 10. So midnight would be 0, noon would be .5, and so on. This scales much differently through the months, and you can read more about it on the wiki pages i linked to. So what are your thoughts on changing the calendar system? Should the decimal system be adopted as a means of keeping track of time? [/QUOTE]
