Galactic Standard Time (GST) is a reimagined system of timekeeping designed for a future where humanity lives beyond Earth. Traditional time units—based on Earth’s rotation—don’t work well on other planets, where days and years vary widely.
GST offers a universal standard based on the precise vibrations of Cesium-133 atoms, the same atomic foundation used in modern clocks. It introduces new units of time—like Tiks, Muks, and Revs—that scale logically and map loosely to seconds, minutes, days, and years.
This app visualizes GST in real time using animated progress bars, each representing a different galactic unit. You’ll also see the full Galactic Date displayed at the top. Prefer Earth time? You can toggle the view to compare both systems side by side. The About page provides background on the concept and useful conversion info.
This was a fun little project that I perused in a night and it was pretty fun to make. Hope you guys enjoy!
