Forum:Time measurement units on Gallifrey

What are the units of time measurement on Gallifrey?

"Spans" are I think used in Neverland.

Are regular seconds/minutes/hours used anywhere?

Are there any other examples of time measurement units? --Tangerineduel / talk 14:48, July 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * Well, certainly the one thing Big Finish writers assail you with throughout Gallifrey is the microspan. It's never precisely defined — but, my God, do they love that term.  It seems to be not exactly minutes or seconds, but something in between.


 * AS for other examples of time measurement, you might start with the (admittedly incomplete) category:Units of time. Obviously the "biggest" DWU time measurement is the Dalek rel, something equally as vague and equally as ubiquitous as the Gallifreyan microspan.  04:36: Thu 26 Jul 2012


 * I didn't even realise we had a category for that!
 * Maybe I'll have to revisit The Invasion of Time where they're waiting for stuff to happen and stuff's urgent. Maybe there's mention of units of time there.
 * Rel seems to double as a measure of speed and other things. At least microspan they grab to term and run with it. --Tangerineduel / talk 07:34, July 26, 2012 (UTC)
