The whole idea of a new time keeping system is that the Union wants to move out of Earth culture shadow.Most beings need an active and a rest period.

To a modern multi cultural society it does not matter of you get  up at 5 am or 5 pm to start the day. If it is afternoon on one planet and local midnight, makes no difference to a central time system.

The new hours have 100 minutes instead of 60. The seven day period of one week has been expanded to ten days. There are no weekdays named after Gods of Earth or any other society,

The day is expressed like this Day-Week-AnDiv-Year   or Oneday-R-R-5000  0r 1-R-R-5000
