I love science.
Actually, Alpha Centauri is a star (solar) system composed of three stars - two similar stars (Alpha Centauri A and B), and the very small and dim Proxima star. If you wiki Alpha Centauri, it says that computer models have shown that rocky planets (not unlike Earth or Mars) could have formed around Alpha Centauri A and/or B. Many of the same characteristics of our own solar system are present in Alpha Centauri, giving Alpha Centauri a fairly good chance of harboring earth-like life forms (it may be single cell archaebacteria or multi-cell protists or even fish/reptillian/land animals).
Okay everyone, bet your morgages that Dave is wrong.
Because if we move to Alpha centauri, we will most likely adopt local time as our own. Depending on the rotation of the planet[s] we inhabit, then there may exist a 01:02:03 04/05/06.
Note that I never said that one second on Alpha Centauri had to be the same as a second here on Earth. People are stubborn creatures. So we will invent seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, and years on Alpha Centauri just because we had them here on Earth. 
Easter Egg! lol. Dave is wrong, because even if we bet our morgages that he is wrong, our morgages most likely will not exist in 3006 and we will not exist either. Unless some crazy andriod things are invented. :-p
