I feel that this is what we should be using instead of the current illogical time system.

    If we were using beats, it would be meters per .beat I guess. Many physical constants would be different numbers but that’s about it

      …but that’s about it

      That’s not how people work. You think Americans are stubborn about our customary units? Try damn-near everyone (including many Americans) with SI.

      Time in particular is unlikely to be significantly reworked because you can only push the inconsistencies out so far. So you divide the day into a thousand beats. Great. A year is still not an integer number of days, and weeks and months are only loosely based on physical (lunar) phenomena at all.
