Is a minute sixty seconds, or is a second one-sixtieth of a minute?
Is an hour 60 minutes or is it 3600 seconds? What is the base unit of time? Is it just based on C, or does it have any other origin.
Well, apparently the second is based on radiation periods of the Caesium 133 atom. So, a minute is 60 seconds.

For physics and other sciences, the base unit is always seconds.
The distance measurement is in meters.
Except for special circumstances where the measurements are plank and plank/second.
Also also, the accepted scientific unit of mass is the kilogram.
Planck. As in Max Planck, the scientist. And there's no such thing as "a Planck" or "a Planck per second."
Good catch. Phone autocorrected on me... Planck
But there is a planck/sec. It's the time it takes for light to travel one planck lenght.

That's the Planck time unit, not the "Planck per second," which isn't anything.
Also a good catch. Dammit, stop being right!
You and your science and you logic and reference materials and your fancy edumacation...
