It is better going to work in the dark and having some daylight when you get out! This should be put on a national ballot! I vote for it staying light later (like now)! (2) Funniest 10 hours ago I don't object to eliminating the time change, but it does seem that America is facing more serious issues at this time. felching pen (2) Funniest 9 hours ago There's also a financial motive, Karen acknowledged: The thousands of golf courses he represents would lose as much as 8% of their revenue if daylight saving time was eliminated. DST doesn't suddenly eliminate an hour of sunlight. You just have to get used to a different number being used for your tee time. I moved from a time-warping state to one that wasn't and never even noticed the day the clock didn't fall back or spring forward (except for being able to watch Letterman at 10:30pm for half the year). I managed to survive the slight, daily changes in sunrise and sunset for a decade. Moving back home, even 25 years later the time change is jolting and unnatural. /00:00 blink 00:00 (2) Funniest 3 hours ago IamRat: I don't object to eliminating the time change, but it does seem that America is facing more serious issues at this time. Think if it this way: every minute GQP senators are jawing in a committee meeting is one minute less they have to vote to further destroy the country. Likewise every minute senior Democrats like Schumer are kept tied up in pointless committee meetings is one less minute they can drum up bipartisan support for the GQP and their votes to further destroy the country.

(4) Funniest 2 hours ago On the nature of time Atomic clocks were compared between locations at the bottom and the top of a mountain, confirming the dilation of time. Project GREAT 2016a -- Hawking, Einstein, and Time Dilation on Mt Lemmon (Archive) " Conceptually, the experiment is very simple. We take one accurate clock the top of the mountain and we take another accurate clock to a hotel at the base of the mountain and let them sit there for a day. Then we bring the clocks together again and compare. If time dilation is false then the clocks should still agree. If time dilation is real then we would expect the clock that was at the hotel to be a little behind the clock that was at the summit. " " At a minimum two clocks are needed, but having multiple clocks and redundant power greatly reduces chances of failure. All six were synchronized and carried in my car for a couple of days. Then we left 3 of them at the top of the mountain, storing them in the astronomer's dormitory, and kept the other 3 in the car as we drove back down to a hotel in Tucson. We waited a day, and then drove back up and compared the clocks. The elevation of the clocks at the hotel was 775 m (about 2540 feet) and the elevation of clocks at the summit was 2780 m (about 9120 feet). So the difference in elevation was 2.00 km (about 6580 feet). The length of time the clocks were separated was about 23 hours. The formula gh/c² predicts a time dilation of about 18 ns (nanoseconds). Now, these clocks are not without error. Even atomic clocks are not perfect. But they are extremely well-designed, and they were all tested prior to the experiment, and found to have a timing error of approximately ± 2 ns per day. Since we are comparing imperfect clock(s) at the base with imperfect clock(s) at the summit the experiment has some inherent error. The key is to design the experiment so that the effect being measured (gravitational time dilation) is at least ten times greater than the inherent fluctuations in the clocks themselves. In general, the higher you go, the longer you stay, the better the clocks, the more clocks you use, then the more certain the results will be. In this experiment the (preliminary) measured value of 21 ns is within expectations and close to the predicted value of 18 ns. So Hawking is genius, Einstein is happy, time dilation is real, PBS got quality footage, and a good time was had by all.
