More Time = Longer Distance / Slower Velocity

[tuckerkao]

3 common Physics Equations:
d = v * t
v = d / t
t = d / v

Daily Available Time = Planet Circumference / Rotation Speed
Yearly Available Time = Orbit Circumference / Revolving Speed

Larger Planet will have longer Planet Circumference.
Jupiter has longer revolving orbit than Earth around the Sun.

I personally prefer 6 days in a week(Sun, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat), 4 weeks in a month and every month the same format. The moon phases will be much easier to memorize.

Around 2 year ago, a member named "Perfection" said something about elongate the time of a day without reducing any absolute values of the existing time intervals.

If we want more available time, either the Earth has to be larger or it rotates slower.

Earth is already slowing down. It has been for billions of years.

We get an extra second every few years.

On Star Trek, that one second is usually the difference between success and the destruction of the ship, and possibly the entire galaxy. Don't underestimate it.

I don't recall saying anything of the like. I also don't recall what I ate last night so don't take it to mean I didn't say anything.

Anyways, if we went for a 6 day week, I propose eliminating Mondays. That way we can start the week with tacos.

Here's Perfection's post few years ago, good thing I can still find the old topic thread -

Maybe I should say "6 days in a week" as Sunday, "Work Day 1", "Work Day 2", "Work Day 3", "Work Day 4", Saturday.

I've always wished our math system can be dozen-based, so our lives can be easier, because 6 will be used more often under that system.

Our bathroom tissues are so often packed in a dozen instead of 2 less in quantity.

We will first need to grow a couple of extra fingers.

Time is not distance / velocity. Time is either distance / speed or displacement / velocity. Don't mix scalars and vectors.

 

[Manfred Belheim]

Is the OP missing or something?!

 

[Ryika]

I always thought it would be cool if days were longer. more time between coming home from school and having to go to bed means more time to be naughty, but also, no Sunday means more days where you have to go school. Meh.

Count the open hand as a unit. Or else count the bones in your fingers

This next one is too fast, but you use your thumb to tap each bone as you count.

srsly what is this thread about?!!

 

[Lohrenswald]

it's not that big of a deal

We need to scale up the speed. Could you point us in the right direction?

"6 days in a week" means any 1 of the existing 7 days can be taken out as an one-time choice. Of course, most people will vote "Monday" out because of the traditions. If 60 Senators and 217 House Representatives vote yes, we'll get the change.

Note: super-majority will be needed in Senate to change any major existing laws. "Good thing 7 days in a week" isn't written in the Constitution, otherwise 2/3 majority will be the minimum to request a repeal for calendar.

In the case of counting the school days, only 4 days would remain instead of 5 if Monday were the one dismissed.

When I was in high school, it required me to take 5 classes per day, that's 5x5 in a week. Even if the education requirement changed to 6 classes per day under the 4 school day system(6x4), that's still 1 class less per week if the absolute length of a week remains the same or even longer.

The other advantage using the dozenal system is that the passing grade will be slightly lower - 7/dozen.

Wouldn't you be happier if there were 6 minutes in between class breaks instead of 5. Most teachers voiced that 10 minutes were way too long. If you want to pass a legislature, you'll need to earn at least majority of the votes.

We should have cheerier names for days rather than "work day 1" -> "work day 4" just to add some fun!

slave obligation 1, oppressed by necessity 2, people will judge me if im not working 3, get other people wealthier off my labor 4, Freedom Couldnt Come any sooner day, Oh My God I have to work tomorrow day

Those are sad though
