Not long ago, I was introduced to the concept of setting all the globe’s clocks to one universal time and eliminating time zones and changes altogether. At first, it sounded kind of kooky. But the more I’ve thought about it, the more sense it makes.
They must have been REALLY tired to sleep a whole day away. When I don’t set my alarm clock, I end up waking up at about 8am even if I was up late last night.
Save nothing, gain nothing…..the earth orbiting the sun at the rate it’s been doing since the dawn of time, will not give us a longer or shorter daytime, no matter how many hours we move the clock hands ahead or back.
Remember, no matter what system you are on it’s always an hour different on the opposite side of a time zone. And if you are on a boundary, your nearby neighbor could be an hour different from you.
Way back when I was in college this happened to me. I reset the clock, so did my roommate and the resident assistant and the dorm director. I showed up for work 4 hours early.

That’s proof that time is relative.

They must have crossed the International Doofus Line.

Well, technically you set the clocks back one hour to return to Standard Time. Today is the END of Daylight Saving Time.

The only advantage to the Digital Age is that instead of having to reset five devices like the old days, today I only had to reset one.

If they keep setting the clock back enough times, it’ll be “Saturday still”, not “Monday already”.

Wonder what Einstein thought as he set his clocks back to standard time…….

And I thought they had a digital clock in space stations. Yeesh.

Aren’t their clocks computerized?

Scary to think the whole station takes its time from a grandfather clock.

This doesn’t make sense. If they kept moving the clock back an hour, how did they end up a day in advance?

No mention of the fact that that non-digital clock doesn’t show the date or day.

And now my VCR keeps flashing “01:00” at me.

It’s a space station in orbit. I would think they would operate on GMT or similar.

Looks like a weight driven pendulum clock, perfect for a space station that experiences zero-g from time to time!

If they keep setting the clock back, wouldn’t they wind up in Saturday again, rather than Monday?
