Each
year starts a primidi and finishes eaither a quintidi or a sextidi.
The year 1 UR started on September the 22nd 1792, the year just before
is counted as year 0 UR, and the one befoe -1 UR...
.
The
day aswell has been divided in a new way since the UR Era. A simple
explanation is to say that the day count from midnight to midnight 10
long hours, counting 100 long minutes each, counting 100 short seconds
each.
One
says X,YY deciday to name the long hour and the long minutes (dekyemetage
or detetage), and can add ZZ chrons for the short seconds (krone).
These
short seconds (0,864 s) corresponding to the 105
th part of the day, served later on to define the time unit in the SU
system : [K] (krone).
PHYSICS
:
These
are mojor units used to define the basic physical numbers, they are
used aswell to define other composed units (Volume, Strength...) :
