       Growing up in the U. S., I wasn’t exposed to the metric system until high school. As many of my fellow students fought it, being an intelligent guy I saw the beauty of decimal based measurements in a decimal number system.So I ask:Why can’t we have metric time? Wouldn’t that be great?#metric #time #science #math

       @fatboy I don't really know how it would work. Others have pointed out that the French tried this around 1760; they had 10 hour days and 10 day weeks, 10 months.
