Time Manipulation!

Wed 11 Mar 2009 17:37:42 | 0 comments

Either created by ancient Egyptians or Greeks, time is nodoubt one greatest invention ever for humanity. There are so many types ofcalendars founded by different civilizations. But the one that we all recognize today is the modern universal calendar--- 24 hours a day, 30 days a month(generally), 365 days a year (generally). So question? Do we create time ortime creates us? Well, the answers vary depend on people’s perceptions. Anyway,the important theme of this top is “Time can be manipulated!” In the West, it’sknown as Daylight Saving Time. In spring, from March to November is the periodthat USA begins to push 1 hour of time forward so that the people have moredaytime. Now why do they do that? There are many reasons behind this. Butenergy conservation is one of them. The practical idea is that when the day islonger than the night, people use less electricity. It’s fascinating to me thatpeople can do such thing like that. The original idea of changing time wasinvented by president of the United States, Benjamin Franklin in 18thCentury. And now it’s widely used throughout the West and Australia.
