#time scales

Okay, so at first this started as me wondering what an average Cybertronian lifespan in your continuity would be in human years, but then I ended up just making a rough conversion table so the relative timeframes are easier to understand. I don’t know if you already have one on your blog, but I haven’t been able to find it, so I figured it would be useful to other readers to have (if my math isn’t wrong, which it probably is since I did this at like 2 am)

1 breem = 10.8 minutes

1 joor = 18 hours

1 cycle = 22.5 days

1 decacycle = 225 days

1 orn = 2250 days/~6.2 years

1 vorn = ~61.6 years

I based it all on a previous answer of yours saying 1 joor is 18 hours, so if that was just a rough estimation then I assume this is all wrong and you can just ignore this.

Hello!!!! A month late to the ask, but here now! :D

It took a while to search my blog, but I did find a post I made on Cybertronian times and one on conversions to Earth times. It quite literally took me an hour to find between tumblr's search functions and my terribly inconsistent tagging XD

I actually based my math around 1 vorn = 83 years (I saw this one day somewhere in the TF ethos and stuck with it), so my conversions are a bit different due to rounding.

Annnnnnnnd in doing this I realized an odd error I made...when did I change 1 vorn = 13 orn to 1 vorn = 10 orns in my time scales??? **questions everything I've written in my fics** **has a minor crisis** **scours LP for any signs of direct time scales mentioned** Figured it out! It was a typo (below)! The math is mathing as it ought to! ':)

To get back on track, I have the approximate conversions as follows:

83 years = 1 vorn

76.6 months = 1 orn

33.2 weeks = 1 decacycle

23.3 days = 1 cycle

18.7 hours = 1 joor

11.2 minutes = 1 breem

6.7 seconds = 1 klick

0.067 seconds = 1 nanoklick

And here's my math. Feel free to check it over! I'm using the average days in a year to account for leap years, so there's some discrepancies in the days, hours, minutes, and seconds depending on the actual year.

Time Scales ~ 1 (prologue)

Akechi Touma- a newly hired content marketer and part time reporter at the local TV station. His skillful and adequate work were most certainly valued amongst his employers, given the tasks only he recieved- some of which his co-workers could not put up with.  

Despite how difficult it was sometimes, he liked his job, and how easy he got it. Communication was his most significant strenght, so to be frank, getting anywhere else wouldn’t be much of a problem either.  

His employers knew that, and didn’t mind assigning him all sorts of activities ranging from simple news report, to a long essay-like articles about all sort of stuff. This time was no different. It's been merely a year and they already bombarded Akechi with all sorts of assignments and show invitations. Lately though, it came to his liking to star in a new TV program- centered on re-discovering places all around the world, forgotten or abandoned by humans-which he then presented in a catchy and appealing to the viewers way. Every week on sunday, he traveled in various places, setting a theme for each about ~50 minute long episode. Knowing his chatterbox mannerisms, the directors only allowed that much screentime.

He had many fans among his viewers, which very much enjoyed his way of sharing the wonderful places he had been to and the way of talking about them. He quickly became their favourite, to say the least.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Akechi." the director put the weekly script on the presenters' desk, distracting him from after-hours-work trance. Being dedicated to his job, it was quite normal for him to do that, and well, the director didn't really mind that. "There you go. Good work." "Ah yes, thank you very much."

He quickly glanced at the recieved papers, in the meantime noticing that the sun set what seems to be a long time ago. He put the script back on the table, lazily getting up from his seat, stretching his limbs and yawning from exhaustion.

Enough work for today, time to head home.

could you give us an accurate cyberteonian to human time keeping terms? like ik you mention that a carrige lasts abt 105 human years but how much is an orn or a vorn?

Great question!

All my time conversions are based on 83 years equaling 1 vorn. Here's an example of the math I do:

Where 1 vorn = 10 orns, 1 orn = 10 decacycles, 1 decacycle = 10 cycles

So, since 83 years is 1 vorn, one Cybertronian cycle (day) is about 3 human weeks, and one human year is about 16 Cybertronian days. Since a carriage lasts 13 orns, that's over a hundred human years.

to my fellow chemists out there, hope you enjoy my conversion tables XD

Video: Four Time Scales

A short video about the four time scales of astrology: the daily cycle, the monthly cycle, the (Solar) yearly cycle, and the individual planetary cycles.

I made this video to explain to my Patreon supporters, to explain the four time scales of astrology: the time scale of the day and night, the month, the solar year, and the cycle of each planet.
