Days? What use are 'days' on Mars? A different approach to time is desirable, instead of being loosely related to celestial mechanics. How about: a shorter second. 100,000 seconds in a 'day'. 1M seconds in a 'week'. and so on. On a space station they sure wouldn't mind the difference. They'd talk about 'see you in a klik' meaning 1000 seconds, or 'thatll take about a megasec' meaning a week. 86400? Give me a break. |

Yes, that's exactly what you get when dividing Unix secs by 86400 you get 100,000-second-long days, useful on Earth, for now. :)
What would be a non-celestial day?
