We need to start using metric time

10 seconds per minute, 10 minutes per hour, 10 hours per decahour, 10 decahours per day, 10 days per week, 10 weeks per month, 10 months per year, etc.

There is that little problem of the year actually being 365.24 days long.  You go off of that, and all hell breaks loose with the weather and your months, etc.

okay, two mythical things

Freespace 3 as made by volition
Duke Nukem Forever

we can't unfortunately get around the 365 days in a year thing, but everything else yeah. unless we like built a set of HUGE giant rocket engines and straped them paralel to the surface of the earth on opposite sides of the equater both pointed opposite to the rotation of the earth and blasted the hell out of them for a long time. then we might get nearly 4 times as long days that would fit into a 100 day/year system

Hmm, what about basing time off the atom instead of the sun?

[Swamp_Thing]

What about seasons? What would happen to them?

[EtherShock]

Hell if I know. This is all hypothetical. We're not actually going to attempt this.

Hmmm... I see your plan is well underway
