>I was going to call this post Cargo Culting but I think the term is inaccurate as much as it is antiquated. Everybody knows that clocks must be kept ticking, but nobody understands time. There is no agreement what time it is, what they should show. Modern clocks go ten times faster than the clocks of the past. The hands are just decorations, clocks work all the same without them. >The divided day conspiracy theory claims that clocks used to be used to divife days into shorter time periods. This is supposed to be possible by merely observing a clock. There is no known phyaical mechanism how this could happen.
