While we're at it, get rid of the 24/60/60 system, base it all on tens: Ten hours in a day, ten minutes in an hour, ten seconds in a minute. A day becomes 1000 seconds long rather than 86400 seconds. We already use base ten to divide seconds anyway, so subdividing into milli, micro, pico, nano, and femto seconds will be nothing new, we would just use them more often (which incidentally would help with converting globally to the metric system). Plank time wouldn't need to change, just the conversion to seconds:
