The clock was conceived to align human periodicity to the periodicity of earths day and night cycle (e.g. waking up at the same time every day) but also to synchronize the people around you (e.g. working at the same time every day). When working in an intertimezonal setting, however, that concept of a 24h day felt very weird. While the day and night cycle indeed is roughly 24h, the human productivity cycle appeared longer in duration as some people were having a normal morning work start at 1:00am on my clock and 8:00am their time. This shifts the mental model to what it means for deliverables to be produced “today” or “on day X”. Is it their day or is it my day? It also shifts the perception of much work per day we are putting in, while on the paper it just is a simple per 24h division. Bob worked an 8h shift in a 24h workday which is in a 24h + 8h + 8h (arbitrary numbers chosen only for visualization) global workday, so did he now work enough? Did he work “all day”? I came to the realization that a 24h long workday in such a setting feels arbitrary and off. It should be longer, but how long exactly. This will only get worse once we have clocks running faster the further away we get from the gravitational field of the Sun or work on planets or moons with different day/night cycles. How would one do it inside an Asteroid Mining Colony?
