So many people today stay so far removed from the real, natural, historical, and political worlds. It would be nice to believe that the bi-annual time change (while I also lean towards believing that they have likely lost most of there energy-saving intent), would be a teaching opportunity but disrupting people's sleep just enough to make people ask questions. I am probably being optimistic here but it cannot hurt.... Thad

I have never seen any serious scientific study that supports that theory which is implausible given energy use patterns in the 21st century.

It’s as if they think that Daylight Saving Time works like a Time Machine. Case in Point: Yesterday, while watching a respected national news weather report, the weatherman was standing on a beach in New Jersey reporting on the horrible windy weather. He was commenting on how the ocean waves were eroding the beach. He actually said this: “Thank goodness for Daylight Saving Time, because that means that there will be one less hour of beach erosion!” -----Inline Attachment Follows----- --------------------------------------------------- https://lists.uni-koeln.de/mailman/listinfo/sundial
