I read the page and have one question. Why do we use the time on this
planet? It seems to me that we should have a system of telling time other
than this planets rotation and it's orbital path around the sun. Doesn't
the navy use a different means of tracking days when they are in a submarine?
Why not start of with the turn of the century as the starting point and use
a meteric system of some sort. For example, one day has ten hours, and each
hour has ten minutes, and so forth. Wouldn't this give us a true nanosecond?
