Universal Time

I AM SAYING IF IT WERE DAY TIME FROM 11PM TO 11AM, kids would be out playing in the dark every day after school. If school changed it's hours to be going on during the daylight time, then my first assessment of people revamping entire schedules and operating times would've been correct.

If school remained between the hours of 8AM to 3PM, it would obviously be DARK at 3pm when kids got out. Who wants their 10 year old playing out in the dark all the time? Nobody. Who wants to completely re-do their scheduling and operations? Nobody.

I understand every point you guys have made and you have failed to address any pont I have made, in a valid manner.

 

lol you're silly. yes people would have to rearrange their schedules by changing a tiny little number. that's it.

 

Changing a number so that it is 1pm everywhere in the world at the same time is not nearly as simple as you people try to make it. Period. Otherwise it'd be done by now with the kind of convenience you say it would provide to obviously large corporations.

Edit: And anybody who misses a deadline due to a timezone change, is a dipshit.

 

maybe it would be hard to adjust everything, but in the long run, IMO it would be more convenient.
i really hate it when people type IMO. and i just did it. sweet.

 

How bout traveling in space? What time are we gonna use then?

And what about when the Muslims start settling other planets? Which way are they gonna face to pray to Mecca?

Yeah I think about this kinda stuff lol

 

Does that mean you'll be showing up on my doorstep with a baby, claiming that it's mine? That would complicate things for me...

 

That is just plain stupid - for the obvious reasons.

 

We get that we woudl still be out in the day and that the hand son the clock would just be in a different position, but its dumb. If you fly somewhere which is naturally a few timezones away ,after this change has been made, even though it might be afternoon where yo are coming from, it will be night where you are going. And even though the hands on the clock are the same, the activities are not. With timezones you can have a measurement of where the day is in other locations. Universal time is stupid. Really stupid. The clock is a measurement based on the sun. Follow the sun.

 

Nah, I wouldn't complicate it that much. I'm more along the lines of feeding LSD to all the squirrels in your backyard.

 

Since we're in a "progressive" mood (some of us, anyway), how about considering time units? Our solar day is divided quadrovigesimally (hours), then sexagesimally (minutes and seconds), and then decimally (seconds again). Not only that, but the atomic second no longer respresents 1/86 400 of a mean solar day (which is about a couple milliseconds longer).

Why not divide the day by a single number base? The French tried, but didn't get far.

Of course, there would be practical problems, as the SI was built using the second.

 

It all makes more sense when you have an astrologically based calendar... its easy for logical time derivations to sound stupid when everyday of our lives is measured from the time someone who didn't exist died.

The true time must circle around long term astrological changes, not as much the position of the sun relative to the earth... more of the position of the earths surface relative to the entire universe - which in some mathematical way coincides with that of the orientation of the sun and earth.

The date and time should indicate more than an ignorant following...

And yes I offer no method, only theory... but I'd bet the method already exists and I am unaware (mayan calendar perhaps?).

 

This is a bad idea. You'd still need some sort of international time system in order not to call your relatives at 3am thinking its midday. Also, as far as flights go, all they need to do is advertise the flight duration on the ticket, which they often don't, which is why I had to crash at brunei airport where I was probably raped in my sleep.

 

Ooo, yeah but devising a new standard measurement other than the second would be infinitely more difficult than adopting a Universal Time System.

BTW everyone change their clocks ahead tonight, but don't get me started on Daylight Savings Time.
