Why are there 24 60-min hours in a day instead of 10 100-min hours?
Because our system of timekeeping goes back to the solar days used in the Babylonian Empire, which used a base-12 (duodecimal) system of counting. This system was, in turn, based on the solar year which, with its 365.25 days, was most easily predictable with a counting system based on multiples of 12, which the Babylonians eventually evolved. The zero, which is necessary for a 10-based system (decimal) was not invented in mathematics until about 1000 years later. It would not work for the calendar, because of the number of days in the year, but a timekeeping system of days with 10 hours, 100 minutes and 100 seconds would work fine. Each second would be about 15% shorter than our current second, but figuring out things like how many minutes in 143.6 days would be a lot easier. This has been suggested, but like the current metric system would take many years and cost billions of dollars to deploy worldwide.
What does timekeeping have to do with longitude?
A normal time zone spans 15° of longitude with a multiple of 15° east or west longitude at its center. It takes one hour for the earth to rotate 15°.
What part of the human body system does the cerebellum belong to?
The cerebellum works with the brainstem through means of the cerebellar peduncles. These bundles of nerve fibers are connected to the medulla oblongata by a pair of inferior peduncles, middle peduncles connect to the pons and superior peduncles connect to the midbrain. The main function of the cerebellum is mainly assessing certain types of sensory input (such as touch) and assisting in the monitoring of muscle movement. Other functions it may be linked to are spacial perception, timekeeping (such as judging elapsed time; predicting where the location of a moving object in a few seconds), distinguishing between two similar sounding words/tones, planning and scheduling tasks, controlling emotions/ impulse and maintaining attention.
What happen when you put magnet next to clock?
If you put a magnet next to a clock, it can interfere with the clock's magnetic components and disrupt its timekeeping mechanism. This can cause the clock to either slow down or speed up, depending on the specific design and sensitivity of the clock. It is generally recommended to keep magnets away from clocks to maintain their accuracy.
