Natural Time (actual time)
11/10/21
--------------------------------------------------
Choosing between natural time and false time as 
the permanent clock system has nothing whatsoever 
to do with the balance between morning and evening 
lightness or darkness.

Public and private entities set their hours of 
operation as they see fit, which is all that's 
needed to create any particular balance between 
morning and evening lightness or darkness.

In fact, public and private entities regularly fiddle 
with their hours of operation, regardless of whether 
or not false time is in effect.  If you change the 
clocks, nothing prevents them from changing their 
hours of operation, nullifying your change.

Why would you want to set a baseline for them to work
with that is purposely one hour off.

For that very same reason, the question as to whether 
actual time or false time ought to be the permanent 
clock system has nothing whatsoever to do with anyone's 
health.  Those who say it does are being as ludicrous
as those who support false time.
--------------------------------------------------


The time of day is not a social convention.  There 
is nothing arbitrary about how the 24-hour clock was 
established.

It's one thing to have never given it any thought.
But to those who think they can actually defend false
time I say:  If you don't know what you're talking
about, then sit on your hands.  The earth does rotate 
on its axis, after all.  Did you not attend kindergarten?

The time of day is a scientific fact for the same 
reason that the earth's rotation relative to the sun 
is a scientific fact.

The sun is precisely midway between sunrise and 
sunset, time-wise and arc-length-wise, when at its 
highest position, every day of the year, everywhere 
on Earth.   That is why high noon is 12 o'clock.
And it is why midday is 12 o'clock.  

And it is why natural time is the only rational 
target within the constraints of geo-political 
boundaries.  Such boundaries might introduce some 
error, as will the width of a time zone.

Adding error to any such error cannot be justified.

There's no justification for calling high noon 1:00,
or for calling any other hour of the day anything other
than what it is.  Change the hours of operation, not 
the clock.

My clocks show the correct time and I communicate the
time accordingly.

I can see the elementary school children being told 
by their teachers that there are 24 hours in a day 
and that midday is 1:00.  All the children will know 
that 24 divided by 2 equals 12, and they will all 
think that adults must be severely mentally retarded.







 The correct time, every day of the year:
