What are the units of time measurement on Gallifrey?
"Spans" are I think used in Neverland.
Are regular seconds/minutes/hours used anywhere?
Are there any other examples of time measurement units? --Tangerineduel / talk 14:48, July 8, 2012 (UTC)
- Well, certainly the one thing Big Finish writers assail you with throughout Gallifrey is the microspan. It's never precisely defined — but, my God, do they love that term. It seems to be not exactly minutes or seconds, but something in between.
- AS for other examples of time measurement, you might start with the (admittedly incomplete) category:Units of time. Obviously the "biggest" DWU time measurement is the Dalek rel, something equally as vague and equally as ubiquitous as the Gallifreyan microspan.
