h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I totally agree with you morning definitely starts too early.. But if you think about it, if morning started at noon, we'd probably be upset. We would think of twelve noon as the crack of dawn and instead decide we needed to wake at 3 pm. Its all relative. To remedy this I offer the solution that the world should function all day and all night, people should sleep whenever they want (or have time) and this would be excellent. Then there would be no time restraints, and people could just wake whenever they please to go work or class whenever it is convenient. I personally function better after atleast 7 hours of sleep and I usually do not receive enough time in the day to do this. You definitely have a point. But if you think about it the whole theory is based in the fact that the world is messed up in general.

Well, I am a firm believer that the exact time can never exist. I have several clocks in my house and, according to them, when I go downstairs I actually travel backwards in time. There must be some amazing scientific breakthrough here somewhere, but I can't think what it is right now.

That could be true fellow time traveler. You seem to have some sort of time space continuim going on. I always keep my clocks atleast 10 minutes ahead. I have this theory that someday i will forget that I did this (i haven't yet) and actually be on time for something, maybe even a minute early(unheard of in imaldris realm). But im still late. Which isn't always a bad thing.

I've heard an interesting theory that if you put people in an area where they don't see natural daylight, their daily cycle becomes closer to 30 hours rather than 24. This suggests that we're suited to a different rotational period and are therefore probably on the wrong planet. Or that when life began the Earth rotated more slowly. Worryingly this means that it's speeding up. Well, it worries me, because I've got a tough enough time hanging on as it is.

I actually saw something on TV once about what you are talking about, and I think that a person's body clock is based on about 25-26hrs a day. We need sunlight, or a clock to say to our body that it is time to reset itself.

Now, if my computer did something like this, I would get very upset. Hell I would be complaining to the manufacturer of my motherboard and complain, but I would also get hold of one of those fancy programs that can sync your computer to an atomic clock.

This being said, I really don't think I will complain to God about this little problem, but I try to make sure my body knows what time it is, like right now I have 10mins before I go home from work

if time is speeding up then in a bunch of milleniums the day will be like 4 hours long and our reincarnated personas will go insane!! ack, the complications of this will make me lose even more sleep.....yai
