One thing I don't think enough people think about is that our measures of time are almost completely arbitrary, outside of those that are set by the physical nature of the universe.
The "second" is an arbitrary unit. There's no particular reason why we should divide a day into 24 hours of 60 minutes of 60 seconds, except that it makes division into integers easy.
