Well, AFAIK there's actually no fundamental reason to apply different 
"measuring tapes" to time and space: The constant vacuum speed of light 
can serve as a ruler for both, with the distance of a light second 
equating a second.

It just happens that it's still more practical to use meters for 
space-like dimensions and seconds for time-like dimensions.
