<h4 class="card-title">What is decimal time?</h4>
<p class="lead">Decimal time is a time system used during the French Revolution that divided the day into 10
hours, each with 100 minutes, which contained 100 seconds each.</p>
<p>The result is 100,000 seconds in one day, compared to the 86,400 seconds with the normal 24-hour
system. This makes it very easy to denote time as a decimal fraction of a day. For example, decimal time
5:67:72 (around 13:37:31) on January 1, 2000 can be represented as <code>2000-01-01.56772</code>.</p>
<p>Also note that each decimal hours is 2.4 normal hours, each decimal minute is 1.44 normal minutes, and
each decimal second is 0.864 normal seconds.</p>
