What a stupid idea
It doesn't accomplish anything but it makes you FEEL like its doing something... CLEARLY this person suffers from a lack of things to do... ironic that he'd be using his time to figure out a way to make it seem like he had much more time to waste  |

Well, DST is both purely psychological and not, at the same time. The idea is basically that we're moving an hour of light, so to speak, from the beginning of the day to the end of the day. So basically, it's beneficial if you get more value out of that hour of daylight at the end of the day than the beginning. |

Isn't daylight savings time essentialy only physchological? And the benefits of which you must convince yourself to be...well, beneficial, not unlike the idea proposed here? Not saying the idea is all that practical, but the concept is essentialy already put in to practice in a good part of the world (I guess certaint regions don't follow DST?), so it isn't all that far-fethched. |

We still need to invent the metric clock...
This isn't really a good idea; to complicated to implement when the only effect is psychological. |

...Nobody's complaining, wtf? 
He was trying to find a solution to give us seemingly more time, because everyone would like more time. |

Heres a new idea... STOP COMPLAINING!!! If your boss says you have 3 days to do this... WORK LATE! You can go a day without sleep if you have time to sleep after that then do it... 27 hours is like, changing life itself... won't work. |
| Danielle Posts: 2724/6737 |
Which is exactly why the other dude's idea made no sense. You'd have to trick your mind into believing it was beneficial before it actually becomes beneficial. |

Yeah... but it'd seem like it was 3:00. Cause the time isn't changing.. just the labels. |
| Danielle Posts: 2722/6737 |
But then 4 oclock wouldn't have the same meaning. If the day ends at 12, then 6 would be noon. So 4 would be fairly early, probably when school starts. And then you're gonna be all whacked out. Getting home from school at 8, wtf?! |

If Harry Potter has taught us nothing else, it's that Time Turners are the answer. |

Hm. That makes zero sense.
You know what would make more sense? If we lessened the hours in the day. That way you'd look at the clock once... and it'd be three o'clock... and then like two hours later it's just be turning four. That would give people a real sense of gaining time. Let's say we created 12 hour days instead of 24 hours. Multiply the minutes by two... so one minute would really be two minutes... and a minute would have 120 seconds within it. Speeding up the clock would make everything seem like it was moving faster.... and thus, making people feel as if they'd rush and rush to their next activity. Hence, not having enough time. It would actually serve to reduce the amount of time that people felt they had. So.. I think lengthening the span of one hour to two hours... and cutting the actual hours in the day in half.. would make more sense. Cause you look at the clock.. and you think "OH SHIT.. it's already four o'clock".. but if you increased the time of one hour... it'd be like "Oh shit... it's still four o'clock... awesome [=".. See what I mean? |

Point taken, blunt given.
Theory changed. Lets make stopwatches that freeze time.  |

Originally posted by MathOnNapkins See, an hour forward doesn't work, but what does work sometimes is ~5 minutes, if you're constantly leaving late. Again, you could get used to that and it wouldn't work anymore. What I've done, quite by accident, is set my clock every once in a while when it seems like it's too early or too late, one way or the other. At this point, I'm not sure where it lies in relation to normal time. Which could be both good and bad. But I'm rarely late. |

Lemmie guess, you had that much trouble sleeping at night because of this?
It is possible to make such a thing mainly because man invented time. |
| Ailure Posts: 1147/2602 |
Meh, I would rather be able to freeze the time around me so I can get a proper nap, and still be up all day. ^^ |
| MathOnNapkins Posts: 326/1106 |
This is like how people set their clocks and hour and a head forward so they get up earlier. At first it works but then they get used to it. Then we'll want a 42 hour day, and so on. |

You're free to create your own 27-hour clock, but weather other people would use it is a different story of course  |
| Skydude Posts: 1337/2607 |
But my point is that I don't think it would help future generations. They would feel like they didn't have enough time either. And then they would make a similar thread pronouncing a 32 hour day or something, so they would seem like they had more time. No matter how much time you have or feel you have, it won't seem like enough, at least in the US, based on our culture. |
| Danielle Posts: 2712/6737 |
Maybe this would benefit future generations, but I can't imagine myself going from 24 hour days to 27 hour days and feeling like I've gained 3 actual hours. It's just not gonna happen. But if kids grow up not knowing the 24 hour way of life, then yeah, it could potentially benefit them. Though you're really not getting any more time...
No. My final answer is that this makes no sense. |

To quote my engineering professor.
"Yes, I know it is 50 minutes but even if I gave you a single problem, you will still think you did not have enough time" 1. Our unified use of the current way we calculate months, weeks, and days within the framework of a year... I beg to differ, Japan references the year based on how long the current ruling emperor has ruled (you can see it in the paper). Many east asian cultures follow the lunar calendar and only follow the sun calendar because that is what is prevalent in the world. |
