Bully Metric Time Apan
The time apan is by definition 30.55 femtoseconds. SI prefixes have the same meaning and conventions when used with Bully time as they have when used with standard SI units. However, the word "time" may be dropped when the context is clear. For example, the statement: "The duration of a sidereal year is 1.033 zetta-time-apan (1.033 Zta)", should be shortened to "The duration of a sidereal year is 1.033 zettapan (1.033 Zta)". See Table 1 below for the list of SI prefixes used with Bully time. In addition to SI prefixes, the table also identifies the smallest meaningful time (Planck time), largest meaningful time (Age of Universe), and a few other time durations for comparison.

The Bully Constants
[edit | edit source]A surprising number of earth's physical constants can be approximated using various algebraic combinations of the following three numbers (click here to learn more) with Bully Metric units.
1.033 2 0.00004
One can efficiently approximate the Earth's sidereal year and tropical year to eight digits, and approximate the Earth's radius (r ≈ 6371), Schwarzschild radius (R), standard gravitational parameter (μ = MG ≈ 3.984e14), and a typical gravitational acceleration on earth's surface (g ≈ 9.813 ).
