Just to play devils advocate. If humans are put in a time deprivation chamber, we do end up closer to a 26 or 28 hour day, which wouldn't make sense without artificial light, but there actually is a good case for it (including a 4 day work week instead of 5!). Obviously a bit tricky for all of society to change over.... Also a "day" on Pluto is over 6 earth days, and a year on Pluto is 90k earth days. (just to use an extreme example, Mercury has 88 day years and 1407 hour days) so I doubt man kind and all of our computers etc would switch over to a Pluto or Mercury calendar, we'd probably have Earth time and Pluto/Mercury time for a while. (But yes, Mars days are pretty close to ours, so doubt that would matter, much less the year being twice as long wouldn't really matter I guess a lot either)

It would be hilarious to see Karl tell off a sloth for sleeping in on a Tuesday

He says that we don't have to adapt the way in which we count time to day and night of whatever planet we are on. We can just have a 24h long time periods because we are used to that and not to the new world turning slower or faster than Earth. At least I think that's what he was getting at, it would be easier if he wasn't interrupted so much tho

Exactly. Ricky is dumb as fuck. Just because a day is longer, doesn't mean we'd change out whole biology to fit in with it. We'd 100% keep 24 hour days because that's how our bodies evolved to work. Being on another planet wouldn't change that. So frustrating hearing him argue that.

@Cholypleige alias Day and night can last months in Alaska, they are on the 24 hour system, a day on some planets can be 1400 hours long, and some planets years are over 90k days. Also what do you care if it's day or night out your window? Why do you care if you are awake when solar panels are charging. We have artificial light, we can work/drive/repair in both cases. I think these are the point Karl was trying to make.

@michaeldmorrison

3 жыл бұрын

@Cholypleige alias It depends on a number of things, every device, computer, thermostat, phone etc is programmed in 24/7 (depending how many we bring I guess), not sure changing every one would be that easy (as opposed to turning on a light when it's dark). It's like -60C in the day anyway, not sure you would do much outside (and why that crew couldn't easily change their schedule to work around it, or why everyone couldn't all do that if the LED bulbs were that big of an issue). We have had artificial lighting for a long time, they don't use that much power anymore, with fans and HVAC and cooking stuff taking way more power, LED lights is nothing anymore. Again, I'm sure eventually we'd change, I think Karl's point is how long would it take? (And we'd probably have to use both for a while)

I get what Karl is saying. Ricky is saying pretty much the same thing but then of course Karl starts getting confused about why the world works. If we moved to another planet we wouldn't just instantly adapt and would need a system to prevent lethargy due to exhaustion. We're used to planet Earth's day/night cycle and have built up modern society based on people's needs for sleep and our desire to experience sunlight. In Iceland people suffer from depression at greater rates because during periods of extended nighttime they're still expected to go through the motions of work and home life even though they don't have daily access to that natural reward of light and warmth from the sun that we're biologically programmed to expect. Further, medical observation is often based around Earth years, which is easier for us to remember when we have the point-of-reference of Earth's natural annual cycle. Karl is simply suggesting the importance of continuing to keep track of these pieces of data which are integral to our current systems of doing things, and he's absolutely right. The fact that he doesn't understand _why_ we track these things is irrelevant.

this one feels like they were trying really hard to misunderstand him. he was just saying he felt like we’d continue using the twenty four hour system regardless of the actual planet’s rotation, just cause we’re used to it, and it’d be hard to adjust to a completely different system

"Forget it )-:"

I agree with Karl on this one. Keep the day 24 hours long, then have a holiday to readjust the days. Like what we do with the leap year.

Until I read these, I didn't realise! In Spanish the Sloth is called Perezoso and it's the same word for a lazy person. Ha!

People saying they disagree with Karl, but honestly this is an instance where what he's saying makes the most sense. The length of a day is in one sense a social construct, or as he says "man-made". We decide sorta arbitrarily what we count as a day and then how we structure our lives around that. It has it's roots in the physical world and how long it takes the earth to rotate on its axis, but in the modern era that scientific basis has definitely become secondary to it's significance in society. Like if the earth started slowing down, and the scientific day became longer, it's not like we would change all our clocks and the whole of society to adjust to that. We would carry on using the 24 hour definition because that's what humans are accustomed to, what all of our economies and social norms run on. If we were out in space or on another planet we might amend the time system somewhat, but broadly I think Karl is quite right in that we would start with the question "how long does it make sense to a human for a day-night cycle to be?" and not the question of "how long does it take this planet to rotate?". Leave those questions to the astrophysicists.

Maxim Nikolaev lmao I’ll never understand how people can be so confident about subjects that they don’t understand. Daylight savings is there to accommodate for the imperfections in the Gregorian calendar. You see, there aren’t exactly 24 hours in a day. So as the months progress, the hours correspond to earlier and earlier or later and later time in the true day. So we accommodate for this by setting the clock back and forth at certain times of the year. Just like we have to do a leap year once every 4 years to accommodate for the inaccuracies in the 365 day a year model

I feel like in the long term this would confuse anyone who'd have to shift to a new frame of reference for time. History would be kinda a complicated subject having to swap between 2 references of time, most people would be conditioned to earth time so you've got a few generations before you work out the complacency of earth.

This sort of got me thinking, what if it just changed from light to dark and back again every five hours or so? Would we have to change our lifestyle at all?

It would maybe change your lifestyle, but not your sleep cycle.

Your cells have a reactive cycle of storing and emitting energy on 24 hours, that cannot be changed.(as far as we know)

A second is the time it takes light to travel 299792458 meters. A day is actually 23 hours 56 minutes and 4.1 seconds, but we call it 24 hours and add a day every 4 years to make up for it. Edit: I'm wrong about all this. Read comments.
