      Let’s first establish decimal time, then we can talk adding thrusters to Earth to adjust its rotation…

      A day is the spin of the Earth and a Year is the orbit of the Earth, but months are completely arbitrary because we (Western world) don’t use Lunar cycles for months.

      There’s no reason we couldn’t have 10 months.

      Except a second is also already defined by external factors so making it shorter actually messes up ALL other SI units/compound auxiliary units…

      The MS has a solution for that. Days, years, weeks… are not part of the system. They are understood and the conversions accepted, but that’s it.
