Default Re: No More Leap Year

[ QUOTE ]
So I was thinking... since leap year is actually just humans way of admitting, "Hey look... we screwed up. We miscalculated how long a second should be so that 31536000 of them equal the amount of time it takes for the Earth to do a full revolution around the sun," I have a proposal. Instead of adding a full 24 hours every four years, could we instead just have 6 hours of "non-existent" free time at the end of every year? Yeah, I know, it would screw up night and day, but that can easily be recalibrated at the start of the next year.

Think about it, 6 full hours of no-consequence life. Who else thinks this is a fine alternative?

I love the idea of the first day being we set our clocks at midnight when it is effectively 6 in the morning... run a year like that, then the next year your midday become the middle of the night etc etc

Hahahaha!


You didn't think this through, did you?
