This calculator requires the use of Javascript enabled and capable browsers. This creates and displays the time in chrons and metric local time format, as opposed to other conventional displays. (The metric date, the same as the chron time date is also displayed on the status line of the browser and the current local time and date, calculated from both metric and chron times, is below the chron time for comparison.) This proposed idea, often termed Chron Time (CT), or in this case Local Chron Time (LCT), divides the day into 1000 equal portions, obviously another attempt at metric time, which is in 100 equal portions by design. The philosophy behind it is that we are a decimal based society, for the most part, and that a decimal time system (any of them) would make life easier. I can see the logic in that. In chron time, the division is in 1000ths, like Swatch Beats, which are 1000ths also, the basic philosophy is similar and is metric in basic structure. See our Swatch Internet Time
Converter and Display page for more information on that scenario.
While the idea has not gained great support, it may. Please visit The Chrons Page for a more in-depth discussion of the GMT proposal of CT.
