| Dec 10 at 17:55 | comment | added | AdamO | How advanced is the civilization? Can they measure radioactive decay? Boom, quartz watches for everyone. Maybe they're more advanced than us, and they can directly measure the speed of light or of nuclear processes. Suppose the planet is geologically active, so to produce heat, perhaps even light, and greenhouse gas, maybe time between geologic events (major storms or volcanic erruptions), is a more meaningful/practical measure of "time" to them. | |

Needs details or clarity | |

| Oct 14, 2014 at 20:16 | comment | added | user | It could end up being closed as either, actually; I voted to close as unclear, because in my opinion this question definitely needs a bit more context to be properly answerable. @TimB pretty much nailed it with his comment. | |

| Oct 14, 2014 at 19:01 | comment | added | Tim B | I know it's not the question you asked but you might want to explain how they exist/evolved (considering they would be on an ice ball a few degrees above absolute zero) as it may shape the answer. | |
