Altean Measurements of Time
source: most of season two (except ticks) | sources can be provided, just ask
Ticks: roughly a second (slightly longer) Dobash: roughly a minute (slightly shorter? we think) Varga: roughly an hour Quintent: roughly a day = 20 vargas Decapheeb: ??? | in regards to Keith’s knife, the knife-shopkeeper in The Space Mall says “The planet they mined that [Luxite] from hasn’t existed in decapheebs.” We don’t have enough additional reference/context to definitively calculate what measure of time this is.
(Space math for Quintents: Keith and Shiro are with the Blades of Marmora, and the path is closed for 2 quintents. Later, Lance and Coran calculate 10 vargas have passed. 30 are left. Therefore, the path is closed for 40 vargas, or 2 quintents. 40 vargas = 2 quintents | 20 vargas = 1 quintent Space math.)
