And because of artificial lighting most of us have a sleep schedule that is very different from the sun cycle. So the proposal is to just take that to its logical conclusion and sleep when the clock (and our internal biorhythms) tell us to and not worry about where the sun is.Bruce Sharpehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11805319026274399358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116744.post-33148816512423742532010-03-11T13:24:11.473-08:002010-03-11T13:24:11.473-08:00I do not follow your logic, how does a 25hr day su...I do not follow your logic, how does a 25hr day suddenly eliminate the need for timezones? Your write: "Since the ND is independent of the daily movement of the sun, there is no need for time zones: the entire earth uses the same time" As I read from your text you just suggest a rescaling or the time a day takes - this can hardly make the sun shine in sync on a spherical earth. People still sleeps at night, no matter what scale you divide the day at.pleasehttp://elaborate.orgnoreply@blogger.com
