We have different metrics internationally for length/distance, weights, temperature, etc. Why, as far as I know, is there only hours/minutes/seconds for the entire world? Not that I’m complaining, the alternative would be a huge pain in the a**, but I’m curious how that happened over time (sorry about the pun). TIA!
In: Physics
we have different units of measuring stuff. a piece of wood is the same length regardless of what unit I use to measure it with.
but imagine I come up with different units of time. Those units roll up to days, weeks, months, years, etc. differently than your measure. So now I’m like “can you meet March 2, 1989 at 421:15.6?” and you’re like wtf?
