PROPOSAL TO REPLACE THE SEXAGESIMAL SECOND WITH THE "CAESIUM BEAT"

 PROPOSAL TO REPLACE THE SEXAGESIMAL SECOND WITH THE CAESIUM BEAT 

(A NON-CAESIUM BEAT IS UNDERSTOOD TO BE A THOUSANDTH PART OF A DAY. THEREFORE A NON-CAESIUM CENTIBEAT IS 1/100000 DAYS.)

The beat takes its name from Swatch Internet Time, famous for proposing to abolish time zones and dividing the day in 1000 equal parts.

108/125 = seconds/cCsb; 432/5 = seconds/Csb

1,063,962,010,417 Hz is the integer caesiumbeat

1,063,962,010,416.66666666 Hz is the non-integer caesiumbeat

(1,063,962,010,416.66666666 is 9192631770 * 432/5)

(CAESIUM) BEAT ((Cs)b)= The duration of 1,063,962,010,417 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom.

9192631770 Hz *108/125 = 7942433849.28 1/centi-caesiumbeats (cCsb)

A meter is now the distance traveled by light in a vacuum in 125/32377585464 cCsb (125/32377585464 centi-caesiumbeats = 1/299792458 * 125/108)

108/125 = seconds/cCsb; 432/5 = seconds/Csb

PROPOSAL TO GET RID OF SEXAGESIMAL SECONDS IF THE UNITS HAVE TO BE TRULY METRIC.

kilobeat another name for a day

hectobeat 1/10 of a day

decabeat 1/100 of a day

beat 1/1000 of a day

decibeat 1/10000 of a day

centibeat 1/100000 of a day

millibeat 1/1000000 of a day

microbeat 10^-6 of a day (thousandth of a millibeat)

nanobeat 10^-9 of a day (thousandth of a microbeat)

a megabeat equals 1000 days (2.737851 years)

a gigabeat equals a million days (2,737.851 years)

All derived units that involve the second will be replaced with centibeats.

m/s * 108/125 = meters per centibeat (speed, velocity)

kg/m/s * 108/125 = centipascalbeat (dynamic viscosity)

1/s/s * 108*108/125/125 = radian per centibeat squared (although gradians can be used too)
