The question then is how was the length of one second decided, as such an important fundamental unit of time. 24 hours in a day, 60 minutes in hour and 60 seconds in a minute. So we have two 12 hour periods, 12 is used for zodiac reasons. The 60 numbers are related to 666 symbolism.

60 is used because it's divisible by so many other numbers, has nothing to do with satan you weirdo
