Well besides the 1/100000 of a day second the most interesting about the Decimal Time (DT) was the calendar system it used, Unix Time works like that, but it's in 1/86400 seconds instead of 1/100000 seconds like the DT or the Julian Day(JD) time system, and the Unix time is in seconds instead of days. For example to convert from DT to JD you would only need to substract the Epoch in JDs from when the DT was adopted (something like JD-2339410, eg. Current_JD - (JD_epoch - 1792_in_JD) ), to convert from Unix time to JD and you would had to do the same but for Jan 01 1970 and then multiply by 86400 ((JD − 2440587.5) × 86400). Everything would be easier if we used 1/100000 of a day seconds. |
