Measuring Time in “Kermits”

[The Indian Pianist]

The “Kermetric” time system divides the day into 100 kermits. 1 kermit is 14.4 mins. Sorta reminds me of Kermit the frog.

I propose we slow the earth’s rotation by 0.000663562% to make a year exactly 365 days for more precision, then transfer to Kermit frog time. This can be achieved by the drag caused by tides which are created by the Moon’s gravitational pull. By adjusting the Moon’s orbit with nukes, over time 365 days can be achieved by which time more nukes could speed up the Moon’s orbit again The only problem is quantum physics. Drag by tides should result in a decaying orbit until the Moon crashes to Earth, however it has been measured to be increasing it’s orbit radius by 15cm per year. Tidal drag should also result in slowing earth’s rotation speed anyway regardless of nukes (which solve every problem). So ultimately the Moon isn’t crashing to earth and the earth isn’t slowing down but they aren’t thus proving we are living in a matrix where the laws of physics are ambiguous. I think this is a cyber prison. That’s my best guess anyway. One day we’ll invent a cyber prison for criminals which means they’ll be in a matrix within a matrix. Or maybe even a matrix within a matrix within a matrix like the movie “Inception” did with dreams. All I know is that I don’t deserve to be here. I didn’t do whatever it was that got me here. I’m innocent! Why am I surrounded by assholes?

 

 

OK. Back to work now. Cool down Kelvin. It’s alright.

Kelvin, if that’s what it would take, I’d say let’s not make the switch. Good read though.

The only problem is quantum physics. Drag by tides should result in a decaying orbit until the Moon crashes to Earth, however it has been measured to be increasing it’s [sic] orbit radius by 15cm per year.

Is this actually quantum physics or are there just other forces acting on the moon, like momentum from just before it got caught in our orbit? Perhaps without tidal drag, it would be increasing its orbit by 25cm/year, but tidal drag is slowing it down to the current 15cm/year.

Otherwise, I’m all for a single unified time standard, though I’d settle for everyone agreeing on UTC until a proper conversion to Kermit Standard Time can be made. Time zones can be used for local affairs but UTC should be used for most stuff (especially near TMZ borders) and everyone should know their local offset. And also DST/Summer Time should be abolished. I’ll let Tom Scott do the talking from here before I fall into an hour-long, paragraphs-long rant on why they’re so bad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5wpm-gesOY
