Nezúmi has adopted the NSMCC (Nezúmi Standard Metric Clock and Calendar).

100 seconds = 1 minute
100 minutes = 1 hour
10 hours = 1 day
10 days = 1 month
10 months = 1 year

Note: 1 Nezúmi second equals 1.8745 conventional seconds. This page will refresh approximately once per minute.

While the Nezúmi time system uses different units than the standard Gregorian calendar and solar-based clock, there are two significant points of intersection between the two systems. As noted above, the Nezúmi second is based on the conventional second. And, the starting time/date for the Nezúmi system is defined as Midnight (12 am or 0 on a 24 hour clock), January 1, 1970. This is also the time reference point used by almost all personal computers in use today. The system clock on your computer keeps time based on the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since that reference point and algorithms which will calculate the month, day, year , hour, minute and second taking into account leap years and other oddities of the Solar-Gregorian system. Because the two systems share this common point in time it is possible to translate dates and times from one system to the other. For dates prior to this "0" point, the Nezúmi clock and calendar go backwards, rather like the "BC" idea, except the months, days and clock also go backwards.

As the Nezúmi system is not based on "solar" events (sunrise, sunset, solstice, etc.) it does not use/need time zones and would be equally usable on the moon or another planet, or under the sea. In Nezúmi time it is always the same day and time everywhere.

Birthdays: Because there is no direct correspondence between Nezúmi years and Gregorian years there is no one-to-one correspondence between a "Gregorian" birthday (i.e.. April 1) and a Nezúmi date. April 1, 1980 would correspond to a different month and day in Nezúmi time than April 1, 1981. Also, a Nezúmi day is a little over twice as long as a solar day. To determine your Nezúmi birthday it is necessary to determine the Nezúmi date you were born on and then that is your Nezúmi birthday each Nezúmi year. One way to do this is to change the system clock on your computer to match your birthday (and time of day if you know it), then go to the Nezúmi web site and check the "current date and time" on the Time page. This will now show your Nezúmi birth date. If you were born before January 1, 1970 your computer probably won't let you enter that date in the system clock, so enter the month and day and for the year enter 1970 plus the difference between your birth year and 1970. (For example, 1952 would be 1970 + 18 = 1988.) Write it down so you don't forget and then reset your system clock. You may also email your birth date (month, day, year, time) to mail@nezumiweb.com and we will send you your Nezúmi birthday.
