Bully Metric Time Apan

Bully Metric Main Page

File:CMB Timeline300 no WMAP.jpg

A representation of the evolution of the universe over 13.7 billion years, or 14.15 ronnapan (Rta). Each sidereal year is 1.033 Eta in duration.

The time apan is by definition 30.55 picoseconds. SI prefixes have the same meaning and conventions when used with Bully time as they have when used with standard SI units. However, the word "time" may be dropped when the context is clear. For example, the statement: "The duration of a sidereal year is 1.033 exo-time-apan (1.033 Eta)", should be shortened to "The duration of a sidereal year is 1.033 exopan (1.033 Eta)". See Table 1 below for the list of SI prefixes used with Bully time. In addition to SI prefixes, the table also identifies the smallest meaningful time (Planck time), largest meaningful time (Age of Universe), and a few other time durations for comparison.

Diagram of the most common decay of the muon. The kilopan (kilo length apan) is approximately 10 yards. Muons are unstable elementary particles and are heavier than electrons and neutrinos but lighter than all other matter particles..

Bully Metric Lengths vs Traditional Lengths

Many traditional units of measurement were derived from proportions of the human body. These values were later standardized for the purpose of conformity and trade. The following images provide Bully length equivalents for traditional units, rounded to give simple rational numbers:

1 Fathom = 200 apan
1 Cubit = 50 apan
1 Span = 25 apan

File:Hand Units of Measurement.PNG

Standardized hand-based measurements:
(1) Shaftment (~6 inch) = 16.64 apan
(2) Handbreadth (~4 inch) = 11.09 apan
(3) Palm (~3 inch) = 8.32 apan
(4) Span (~9 inch) = 25 apan
(5) Fingerbreadth (~3/4 inch) = 2.08 apan
(4) Digit(~0.72 inch) = 2.00 apan
