The metric system is a false god and all of its espouses are false prophets part II
So it turns out there actually is a history of metric time in the world. During the French revolution a metric time system was implemented from 1792-1805. They based it on a day which had 10 hours, each of 100 minutes, each of 100 seconds. They also had 10 day weeks, with months three weeks long. According to accounts it was very popular, but Napoleon ended it when he gained power in order to gain favor with the pope.
We use the Gregorian system of time keeping, along with his calendar, because the pope's told us too back in the day. Gregory didn't actually make it up. Our months come from the Romans, weeks from Hebrew, days from the Anglo Saxon tribes (except Saturday which is Roman), hours from Ancient Egypt, and minutes and seconds from the Babylonians. With the exception of the Roman months which are mostly a political construction, all of these time increments are based on religion.
So I extol the world once again. Metric Time! Cycles are great!
