Universal Decimal Time System anchored at J2000.0 — a scientifically grounded, timezone-free time representation
Documentation
//! BrightDate Spacetime Standard
//!
//! The Bright Spacetime Standard collapses the distinction between space and
//! time by setting the speed of light *c* equal to **1** (natural units). In
//! this system, a duration *is* a distance: the metres light travels in that
//! duration.
//!
//! Three parallel scalar hierarchies are defined:
//!
//! 1. **Bright-Seconds (bs)** — the canonical light-travel unit.
//!    `1 bs = c × 1 s = 299_792_458 m` exactly.
//! 2. **BrightMeters (bm)** — an alias of the Bright-Second emphasising the
//!    spatial interpretation. `1 bm = 1 bs`, with SI-style decimal sub-prefixes
//!    (μbm, mbm, bm, Mbm, Gbm).
//! 3. **Light-Days (Ld)** — the day-based hierarchy aligning with BrightDate's
//!    native unit. `1 Ld = c × 86_400 s = 25_902_068_371_200 m` exactly.
//!
//! Because the SI second and *c* are both defined to exact integer values,
//! every conversion in this module is **exact in principle** — limited only
//! by IEEE-754 double precision at very large magnitudes.
