Spacer calendar A proposed base-60 civil time system for a spacefaring civilization For this proposal I am ignoring relativistic effects such as time dilation and specialized astronomical time scales such as barycentric dynamical time. The goal is a simple, uniform civil time system suitable for a civilization living across planets, moons, stations, and spacecraft. Specifications: Spacer - metric time - base 60 Basically a metric calendar that’s base 60 instead of base 10 and based on the day as the primary time unit. Merely because human circadian rhythm is evolved to be adapted to the length of an earth day. 1 day x 60 x 60 x 60 = 1 spacer millennium (600 spacer years, approx 591.4 earther years). 1 day x 60 x 60 = 1 spacer decade (10 spacer years, 360 spacer days each, approx 9.86 earther years). 1 day x 60 = 1 spacer month (60 earther days, approx 2 earther months). 1 spacer day ...
