We need a pseudo day still due to our sleeping rhythms but perhaps people could choose that based on personal preference not just stick with 24h

- philwelch 7y agoThe day would shift half an hour in the next 600 years. That’s half as much as it shifts twice a year for DST, except it would happen gradually over a period of time roughly equal to the time between the fall of the Eastern Roman Empire and today.
- quickthrower2 7y agoI was sort of nodding to the people who claim they have a 25 hour sleep cycle. Once we are in space and using artificial light, you can choose the sleep cycle that suits you. But predicting things in 500 year is just Sci Fi I guess!
