Just to make things easier... I probably should have explained measurements beforehand. The smallest unit is an arca, which spans an average of 0.2 nanometres, or 0.008 nanometres cubed volume. A length of 5 arcas strung together is called a pent. a length of 5 billion arcas is about 1 metre, so 1 metre is equal to a gigapent. Don't expect these measurements to be used to any cultures or civilizations, it is purely for explanation benefit by measuring in terms of arcas. I have included tables for common metric conversions between Sarcinia and Earth.
Pent comes from penta- for 5.
Sarcinia |
Pent Magnitude |
Earth | Metre Magnitude |
---|---|---|---|
Arcalength | 0.2 | ||
Pent | 1 | Nanometre | 1e-9 |
Kilopent | 1000 | Micrometre | 1e-6 |
Megapent | 1e6 | Millimetre | 1e-3 |
Gigapent | 1e9 | Metre | 1 |
Terapent | 1e12 | Kilometre | 1000 |
Petapent | 1e15 | Megametre | 1e6 |
Exapent | 1e18 | Gigametre | 1e9 |
Zettapent | 1e21 | Terametre | 1e12 |
Yottapent | 1e24 | Petametre | 1e15 |
Ronnapent | 1e27 | Exametre |
1e18 |
Quettapent | 1e30 | Zettametre | 1e21 |
Apth comes from my contraction of A Pent to Three because one apth covers 125 arcas, which is 5^3.

honestly after i made this specific table i realized that i probably dont have to make up new units. but consider that i like making up new names :3
Time is measured in the same Earth minutes, hours, and days unless if specified otherwise.
