And I'd love to get rid of the base 10 numbers and have base 60 for ordinal numbers. Why? Because 60 is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Also by 10 and 12. Easy splitting of amounts all around. I probably have spent more time on that than anyone should, but while at it, also consolidate the general unit system to a natural plank constant based measuring. And the alphabet to a 60 letters so you can use the same symbols for them as for ordinal numbers while the writing is a korean style syllable grouping. For non natural numbers use a balanced ternary denotation which also could (and IMHO should) be the base of digital technology. But preexisting standards are very very hard to get rid of, especially those so deeply embedded in culture. | ||

For example, substitution ... just substitude the DJ in DJwheat by null set, then light it, wait 10 minutes and after that, everything in this threat makes perfect sense. | ||

Wouldnt make more sense to go 1day = 12 hours, 1hr = 60minutes, 1min = 120 seconds rather than the 1day = 12 hours, 1hr = 120minutes, 1min = 60 seconds And if you had to mod the design of any current analog clocks you just need to half the speed of everything! Instead of everything but the seconds. (converting digital clocks to either schem should be very simple) | ||
