[QUOTE="Num7, post: 257581, member: 1"] Have you thought of this before? Here on Earth, we have time zones and UTC, so that time can be handled properly and conveniently, regardless of where you are. It works. Now, what about a civilization that spans the galaxy? What is their absolute time measure? I’m not even talking about time dilation, let’s not consider it for the moment, for simplicity’s sake. How do you measure time properly, so that communications and travel throughout your civilization work reliably and adequately? Would it be possible for an alien race to develop a perfect, absolute, and infinitely precise time-keeping system, based on the universe’s entropy or something? A system they could use empire-wide, that would be reliable and precise? Maybe… If not, what would be their second-best option? Would an absolute time such as the Unix Epoch Time (number of seconds since Jan 1st, 1970, or for aliens, since whatever they choose) work as an empire-wide convenient time measurement that gets converted to local time, on a per-planet basis? I’m not sure what would be best. What are your thoughts? [/QUOTE]
