About Hours
An hour (h) = exactly 3,600 s. The 24-hour day traces to ancient Egypt (10 daylight hours + 2 twilight + 12 night star-rise periods). Time zones are integer or half-hour UTC offsets (exceptions: India +5:30, Nepal +5:45). The kilowatt-hour = 3,600,000 J; Tc-99m half-life = 6.0067 h. Drug dosing and pharmacokinetics are expressed in hours. 1 h = 3,600 s = 60 min = 1/24 day.
About Fortnights
A fortnight = exactly 14 days = 2 weeks = 1,209,600 s. From Old English 'feowertiene niht' (fourteen nights), reflecting the Germanic custom of counting nights. Common in British, Irish, Australian, and NZ English for pay periods, rental cycles, and parliamentary recesses. The Moon's phase advances ~half a synodic month (≤14.77 days) per fortnight; spring and neap tides also cycle fortnightly. 1 fortnight = 14 d = 1,209,600 s.
