Time change to a permanent one rather than an hour here or there, is the topic of the day other than dronesville. Both are odd in my view. As to warring drones, I think those of us who enjoy a bit of scifi have always known the world's last gasp will be at the mercy of machines fighting it out in space somewhere while we watch from our planet hoping the effects will be a "the end", but not ours. As to Time, that's another thing; but it's rather close to scifi. Time, as we know it, from our mantel and wall clocks, our wrist timepieces strapped on, or dangling from a chain around our necks, is a human invention. Time cannot be changed unless only by humans according to their timepieces. We humans love order. It calms our need for self-confidence if we can point to an inanimate object to blame or laud, so to keep ourselves away from possible consequences. Time ticks on no matter how we change our watches, and to me, when a scientist warns of the dangers of not changing our watches but letting them tick on, I have to wonder. We are creatures of the planet just like the fauna that roams its surface or swims in its waters or flies in its skies. None of them wear watches unless some scientist has chained equipment on them for "scientific reasons". These creature of earth are fine if it gets darker at certain periods and lighter at others. They live in the real world every day of their lives. They are perfectly normal and have been so in their genetic heritage for millions of years. They don't fuss about, but accept Daylight Time and Standard Time as okay. It's just those humans again. Neither do we need to fuss about it in order to be "healthy". Another day of spin for media. I recommend you read a rather massive but fun book from cover to cover by Bill Bryson: A Short History of Nearly Everything. From it, you will learn that Scientific Man, doesn't always get it right. And mistakes are known to be fact not by invention but as natural time progresses. Those who present that it is dangerous if we don't switch our watches back and forth, must actually mean that it's inconvenient, truly not "dangerous"? One hour is sixty minutes in Man time. The colour of the sky doesn't matter. Why mind if it is dark or light. We can go about what we must and want to do, be it sunny or rainy, dark or light, and if it's too much, we make the changes. Our watches have nothing to do with it.
