what is the purpose of the time change we just did?

They say the purpose it to conserve energy. \nBut, we all know it's just to mess everyone up, mess with their minds and their schedules.\n\nSome of these people were a little too happy with their answers. I bet they didn't even change their clocks! ;0)

Daylight Saving Time (or Summer Time as it is called in many countries) is a way of getting more out of the summer days by advancing the clocks by one hour during the summer. Then, the sun will appear to rise one hour later in the morning when people are usually asleep anyway, at the benefit of one hour longer evenings when awake: The sunset and sunrise are one hour later than during normal time. \n\nDST could save energy (less artificial light is needed during the evening) and make the country more efficient in addition to the pleasing effect of lighter evenings. \n\nTo make DST work, the clocks have to be adjusted one hour ahead when DST begins (during spring), and adjusted back one hour to standard time every autumn. There are many countries observing DST, and many who do not. \n\nBenjamin Franklin suggested the method in 1784, but it was first during World War I, in 1916 in several counties in Europe that DST was adopted, although it was proposed several times before, but rejected.

No. Time moves us all.

I think you are refeering to Yahoo time, You can check the difference in the time based on the timestamp on the answer ;-)

Yes actually. When Ben Franklin was arguing with the Creator about his roll in the daily lives of men, he had to excuse himself because of an appointment. That lead to a discussion of time and time keeping, and God said he was partial to the old system where daylight was divided into twelve hours and so was the dark. Anyhow eventually the Lord suggested daylight savings time as a compromise.

Yes, it is the same time here as there.  Time is an artificial construct; an illusion that we use to mark the progression of our stay on this planet.  Time doesn't truly exist, we exist and we use the various methods of measuring time (clocks, watches, egg timers, etc.) to keep track of how long we are in existence.

There is no use apart from being in time with the rest of the world.\n\nIn some parts it is not wise to put the clocks forward/backwards as this will change what time it is at the hottest in a day.\n\nChina is one of the few counties that does do this.

Four hours after you left (assuming you spent no time at your destination), and yet you were travelling back toward home at 2am Sunday morning in the spring when the country goes on "daylight savings time."\n\nIf that's the wrong answer, your informatio for answering the question was incomplete.

Tell them that the time changes one hour back instead of forward.

"The change to Daylight Saving Time (not Savings!) allows us to use less energy in lighting our homes by taking advantage of the longer and later daylight hours."\n\nAs an aside, my birthday is on one of the last days in October, meaning that sometimes I have a 25-hour birthday... at least until 2007, when the time change back from DST will be pushed to the end of November.

I don't see how they can do away with them. It is a fact that the time is not running exactly to the second every year. If they did away with them they would eventually have to adjust something or atomic time would be different then local time.

Ya Time is just a measure of change... If there is change then you can say that there is time... No-time isn't a "theory" it's an idea, a thought game.

Nothing in my life needs to be exactly on the second. If clocks differ a minute or two, I don't care.  When I go somewhere I allways go early not to arrive late. The seconds doesn't really matter to me much.

WOW ... well, let me answer your last question first ... no one will answer because you are making them think too much.  Personally, I am in awe of such an amazing question.  Alas, I know I will NOT be able to do it the justice it deserves with a simple answer.  \n\nSo let's look at the Original Question ( in bold ) and simply answer that.  Yes, I do believe that time is an illusion, that all we have is now ... RIGHT NOW.  Because our perceptions are warped ( only having 24 hours in a day ) we justify by "prioritizing" what we feel is important and has to be done at this time.  Or we put off things that can be done later ( which has no bearing on this topic ).  We might come across a more important thing to do, and therefore put the things we originally prioritized to be done on hold for the time, and pay attention to what seems to be the new important thing. \n\nSorry this isn't as great of an answer that the question deserved because we can still go into depth about abstract ideas and how we must have them done now ... i.e. Love - among other topics.
