The sexagesimal (base-60) divisions of units of angles (one circle = 6*60 degrees, 1 degree = 60 minutes of arc, 1 minute of arc = 60 seconds of arc) and time (1 hour = 60 minutes, 1 minute = 60 seconds) are ultimately based on practices of the ancient Babylonians, who used base 60 for all of their calculations. Their divisions of time and angle were copied by the ancient Greeks, and theirs by the Romans, and we inherited them from the Romans. The 24 hours of a day come from the ancient Egyptians, who divided both the day and the night into 12 equal parts.
And I also believe I read someplace that T2TB stood for R2D2 but that was from a galaxy far far away...

Nice stuff there Justaguy. You must of paid attention in school when the teachers taught you. It was kind of you to share your knowledge with us. Now I understand the whole time - relative quantum theory thing.
I want to thank T2TB for the question and Einstein for equation explanation.

This is my favorite Einstein quote -
"The years of searching in the dark for the truth that one feels but cannot express, the intense desire and the alternations of confidence and misgivings until one breaks through the clarity and understanding are known only to him who has himself experienced them." - A. Einstein

Actually, I have a couple of favorites -
"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."
"If I had only known, I would have been a locksmith."
- both, A. Einstein

Red is gray, and yellow white, but we decide which is right....Moody Blues.
I'll try one of those "yellow submarines" thanks. They taste just like chicken.

Just wanted to pop in one of my favorite lines. Although it's not the Moody Blues, it's a line that grabbed me from PF Dark Side of the Moon

Those early progressive rock bands came up with a lot of good one liners. It must have been the drugs that enhanced the brian cells.
