Quantum Vibe / Standard Calendar... Not really needed
« Last post by MirrorField on August 19, 2019, 08:03:32 am »If ISO standard second is still the same, the unix epoch is still the same. And there is no need for "standard calendar".
Local "calendar frippery" easily converts to unix epoch, which is simply a counter counting seconds from midnight 1.1.1970. One sees no reason why this would change without colossal disaster on the scale of "we need to reinvent transistor and computers". Most likely the ancient computers of Zytemonde were running this same system behind "local" calendar and clock, which were adapted to local planetary cycles.
Spacers with no need to deal with local day/night/year cycles can easily use simple SI multiples of second: Kilosecond (about 16.6 minutes), Megasecond (about 11.6 days) and so on. A 64-bit integer as a standard timestamp is very easy for computers to handle and to convert into local format, whatever they may be.
