Metric Time

No one likes the way time works with 60 min in an hour and 24 in a day for some reason so I made a simple solution. Metric Time. I did the math for this one before I had learned python so I made the original in scratch, but later I made a full version in python.

Content warning MATH!!!

The main thing we need to maintain is the actual length of a day, but why did we divide it into 24? Why not 10. This means that every metric hour equals 2.4 normal hours. From here we can just divide by 10 to find the value of all the other units. To convert the normal time we just find the ratio between seconds and the desired precision in metric. So to convert 12 43 22 into metric we do 12X60X60 + 43X60 + 22= 45,802 then we will go for 5 digit precision so we will divide by 8.64 to get 5301.1. And that's your metric time. If you replicate this in python my advice is to use the datetime module instead of the time module. If that made any sense then congratulations you can convert the times.
