Is the World ready to harvest
the advantages of Centesimal Time?
A Bangladeshi scientist has invented
the Centesimal Time counting system, which is based on the formula of 'One hundred'. In
this method of counting time, 1 day + 1 consecutive night = 100 hour, 1 hour =
100 minutes and 1 minute = 100 seconds.
Earlier, the human being at their prehistoric civilization could identify and
utilize only day and night or the sun and the moon;
i.e., our prehistoric fore-fathers could manage only 2 simple divisions of the
time, i.e., the 'light' and the 'dark'.
In ancient Bangladesh and some parts of India, people divided the day and
nights in to "Prohor". Hundreds
of years ago, people of Bangladesh divided a day and the consecutive night in
to eight (8) divisions or, Prohors.
There are four Prohors in a day and
another four Prohors in a night,
i.e., total eight Prohors. That
means, a Prohor consists of three hours on the basis of 24 hours.
Later, the human civilization learned to divide the time
of a consecutive day and night in to 24 hours. Man invented sand clocks and
spring driven timepieces to watch, monitor and best utilize their time.
Now we, the mankind need a more precise time counting
system to cope up with the fast and forward moving life. The electronics
industry have the necessary microchips and LCD/ LED displays to make any
gadgets that will use this system to show the time, which will ultimately
change the way of counting time.
It is expected that this 100 unit base time counting system will replace the
old 24 hours > 60 minutes > 60 seconds based time counting method. It will give the mankind the
opportunity of best utilization of time by partitioning it more precisely.
In the Centesimal System, as for example, the dial of a digital timepiece will
show the times as follows:
Starting from the zero hour = 00:
00: 01
Late night at 3:00 am = 12:
50: 00
Morning at 6: 00 am = 25: 00: 00
Midday at 12:00 pm = 50: 00: 00
Evening at 6:00 pm = 75: 00: 00
Mid-night, prior to zero hour = 99:
99: 99
Mid-night
zero hour = 00:00:00
Although, the zero hour = 00:00:00 (at 12:00 a.m. of
present system) is counted at the 'midnight' on the basis of existing practice; however, the
people of any particular country may start their own time counting system just
after the 'sunset', instead of the midnight. Therefore, the more active and
hard-working people will get some supplementary time instantly after the sunset to prepare their work plan for tomorrow.
It is expect that the people of this planet will consider the proposal and may
include this new system of counting time in their new clocks, smart phones, computers and
other gadgets and take a vital part in changing the way that we, the mankind
count the time.
