- The article discusses alternative time systems beyond the standard 24-hour, 60-minute, 60-second format, pointing out its inconsistencies.
- It presents several alternative clock designs: a 24-hour clock without AM/PM, a decimal clock with 10 hours, 100 minutes, and 100 seconds for easier calculations, a binary clock with long 'seconds', a hexadecimal clock using 16 hours, and a 360-degree-inspired clock with 36 hours.
- The author notes that decimal systems simplify time conversions, while others like binary are more niche, and invites suggestions for additional time systems.
