We could do a Dec 31 'Catch up quarter' where the day was extra long. The big issue is keeping the clocks in sync with the night-day cycle. This is something humans are Keen on, that's why we have time zones even. (It'd be easier just to have the same time everywhere and in Australia have 12pm be midnight.)
And oh lordy, who came up with Daylight Savings Time?
Yes, because all divisions of time are artificial and arbitrary. It's like saying furlongs per fortnight is the superior measure of speed because it divides things into less units then meters a second.VikingBoyBilly wrote:Well, the solution would have to create a revolutionary new unit of time measurements that each day's artificial length can easily divide into (srsly... it doesn't work the way you say it does. The revolutionary cycle around the sun happens to be at a rate of 365.25 days. You're suggesting we have 365 artificial days every year instead of just one every four years?)
