Why Metric Time?
The Metric Time & Date System reimagines how we measure time using base-10 divisions. It replaces archaic, inconsistent units with a clear, logical framework aligned with natural cycles—the Day and the Year.
Time Structure
- Day: 1 full rotation of the Earth
- 10 mHours per Day
- 100 mMinutes per mHour
- 100 mSeconds per mMinute
For example:
- Noon = 5.00 mHours
- 9:00 PM = 7.5 mHours
Date Structure
- Year: 1 orbit around the Sun
- 10 mMonths per Year
- Each mMonth = 36 days (or 37 in select months to match 365-day solar year)
- Each mMonth has 6 mWeeks (6-day weeks)
- Each mWeek = 4 work days + 2 rest days
mMonth Names
- Renewal
- Awaken
- Bloom
- Thrive
- Radiate
- Sustain
- Gather
- Reflect
- Diminish
- Restore
Key Benefits
- Simplicity: No more 24/60/60 conversions. Decimal math is easy and intuitive.
- Digital Friendly: Designed for clean integration with computers and programming.
- Global Consistency: Aligns human activity with a universal system.
- Education: Easier to teach and learn for both children and adults.
- Work-Life Balance: 4 days on / 2 days off creates better rhythms and more recovery.
Conversion Examples
Time:
- 1 mHour = 2.4 conventional hours
- 1 mMinute = 1.44 conventional minutes
- 1 mSecond = 0.864 conventional seconds
Date:
- Traditional January ≈ Renewal (mMonth 01)
- Traditional February ≈ Awaken (mMonth 02)
- ... etc.
