: One of these days, someone's gonna fix those little
: annoyances of Earth's mass and velocity, to give us a
: year with exactly 12 months of exactly 30 days of
: exactly 24 hours each, and a nice gravitiational
: acceleration of 10m/s^2 (instead of that annoying
: 9.8). That, or someone will simply adjust the calender
: and measurement system. (I've got my own calender and
: measurement system designed already, though not even I
: use them).
Or, alternatively, we'll use a calendar that has absolutely nothing to do with the position and motion of the planets, so that the sun's shining through half of the night and each year spans 2.6364789 revolutions of the Earth in its orbit, and thus we will demonstrate our power over and contempt for nature. Oh, and we'll rename the units of time so they sound more cool and futuristic ("The battle will take place in nine standard galactic intervals," and so on). We'll also use the same units for distance and time, and mass and energy, cuz that's the way it is.
