...which is weird... you may think that you just multiply the seconds to
minutes and then to hours and finally to days... but NO!
one day has never had 24 hours (1440)... it is like 24 hours + 1 minute
(1500), because of many astronomical cycles that were never taken into
account when the 365 Gregorian Calendar was invented.
for simplicity we have also the "megasec", which will be 1 year, and the
"zetasec" which is 1 galactic year (the Mayan Calendar in this way is
superior; they knew about the galactic year which equals 26,000 years).
btw, for conversion of time i don't use "seconds" i use "units of time"...
which are related to pixies (COLORS and LIGHT); because people cann't see
either nano-pixies nor zeta-pixies (they are part of what has being proved
by science to be outside of the range of human visible light)... one
"light-second" is 300k -1m; but 1 unit of time = 3z units of lenght (almost
meters).
the time zone is irrelevant, it is UTC +0
I am fine with the epoch being 1970, because if you -40 there is 1930 (Great
Depresion) and if you +40 there is 2010 (next year, 2 years before the 13th
baktun and the year 2555 of the Buddhist Era... there will be a year 2600
B.E. btw =)
I have to say, your reply to my attempt to help you has put the final nail in the coffin.
The units you describe don't show up in the first couple of pages of google results, and from the sound of them, seem to have been defined by you for your own personal needs. It is entirely unrealistic to assume anybody can help if you don't realize this.
help? here is a unit that may come up in the first page of wikipedia or google: Yuga (sanskrit dictionary:
http://spokensanskrit.de/)
And from your earlier posts, you clearly are very enthusiastic about working with computers. However, you also come across as being very inexperienced with programming them. So the ideas and concepts you present either don't make sense or are considered very unrealistic by the people on this list, which by it's nature has a bunch of programmers/engineers that have a lot of experience in programming in general, and the design and programming of unix systems in particular.
my main class isn't coder or hacker. engineering, experience (when measured in human life spans) and titles are highly overrated.
I would suggest that you need to spend a bunch of time reading the archives (past messages) for mailing lists to get a sense of what is appropriate to post and what kind of assistance the list can/will provide before you post again.
However, I will no longer respond to your posts, as your ideas relating to computing, units and life are way beyond my ability to comprehend.
Reading the archives? nah... i got enough "archives" after reading the
eff.org ones... y apreciate more the time behind the avarage tree than using the avarage computer... i apreciate more the life of any tree than the life of most humans.
