Default Daylight Saving Time

Just goes to show how nobody really appreciates what happens when timekeeping meets the body clock in terms of the planet's rotation. When I explain this somewhere else, most find it easy enough whereas others will still feel uncomfortable with the explanation. At all times the principles are anchored in the Lat/Long system and the fact that rotation is anchored in noon which means that this period is the most natural to the body and its daily rhythms -

The intellectual rednecks who attempt to imply one more rotation than weekdays in a year or the recent rubbish of a slowing rotation based on spurious nonsense would rather become ill in the mind than accept what their bodies are telling them.

Most of these issues are new and barely touched.
