Due to the difference in Societies, Terrans introduced their 24 hour clocks, but as a practice Terrans have learnt to move their dial 45 minutes ahead when they wake up due to the shorter days. Al-Leyans have continued to use their UGT(Universal Galatic Time). Al-leyans have found that 3 pulses from PSR B1913+16, gives them a full day, where as on luraul it is 4 pulses. | Due to the difference in Societies, Terrans introduced their 24 hour clocks, but as a practice Terrans have learnt to move their dial 45 minutes ahead when they wake up due to the shorter days.

Though many Terrans have begun to use the Al-leyan's UGT system becuase of the ease of use, and lack of need to be precise. The Dinjan time system follows a quinary system almost. | |||
* 1 pulse = 7.75 hours | |||
* 1/5th pulse = 93 minutes | |||
* 1/20th pulse = 23 minutes and 15 seconds | |||
* 1 centipulse = 4 minutes and 39 seconds. | |||
===Town clocktowers=== | |||
Dinjan life usually has clock towers in any city center to denote, and chime the time. Dinjan clocks chime every one twentieth of a pulse, and has a unique chime for 1/5th of a pulse, and a pulse. These clocks usually display a pentagon clock with two hands and 20 marks. while have a round circle besides it with one hand denoting which pulse it is. | |||
Al-leyans don't feel the need to use centipulses, yet terrans tend to like the idea. | |||
