0023.125.000

In this example the century designation is two characters, decade is 1 character, a year is one character and so on through the remaining date. We are used to a century being 100 calendar years but the time span on this UCT format is much longer. A year has 10 “months” with each composed of 10 “weeks” which are each composed of 10 “days”.

The time spanned in each unit in the UCT format is of no consequence in a planetary cycle as UCT is merely a consistent format regardless of planetary or lunar cycles.

If we were to start this time code at an historical event such as Oct 4th, 1957 (The launch date for Sputnik), then January 01, 2021 in the normal calendar would be written as 0023.125.000.

This chart shows some of the other historical dates as they relate to this UCT time format if it was started with the Sputnik launch.

This chart indicates that under the UCT format, less than 24 “years” in Base 10 have passed since the Sputnik launch in 1957 an we could also write the format without the leading zeros if they are not being utilized. An example would be the new millennium. 0015.446.000 could be written as 15.446.000

 Current technology does not permit us to communicate in real time without delays from planet to planet due to the distances involved, but eventually this will be possible. When setting up an interplanetary meeting in the future we would need to connect at the same time, on the same day of the “week”. This time format would achieve that regardless of individual colonial/planetary calendars which would probably be based on its own rotation and solar induced seasons.

I have mentioned earlier that both the atomic and optical clocks can provide very precise measurements of time but these would not necessarily be needed for daily time keeping. A digital clock that shows the UCT time would suffice for business and personal use in interplanetary communications.

A single atomic or optical clock would manage the planets synchronization with all other colonies and in transit star ships.

This clock representation is designed to add an additional 999 to the image above indicating that at every 9999 century, the new clock rolls over a new "epoch" for a total of 999 epochs.
