When we are coming to the last period of December, it is getting lighter. And we are coming to end of June, it is getting darker. What is really happening?
The earth is moving around the sun in orbit. It is not opposite! In earlier times, you were burned on the fire if you thought differently than the usual. But the seasons we get, we get due to the slope of the earth in relation to the sun! The sun is placed constantly in nature, but the sun is shining when we get light, and it is dark when the sun is away!
We become more cheerful at heart when it is bright, and we become gloomy when it is dark. Accordingly, the mood is determined by the light and the darkness. We want pleasure and good things when it is bright, and we want evil forces to operate when it is dark! Hence, the best thing is to have light the whole day. But the solar system is intelligent, and we sleep when it is dark if we are not working at night. And when it is bright, we are awake if we are not sleeping then due to the fact that we are working at night. Most people are awake at day, and most of them sleep at night.
The greenwich meridian is the starting point for all time fixing on the globe. This meridian is in the sourth-eastern part of London. We clock back or forth when we travel through the time zones of the earth, and it has been defined in human times through the time that the sun shines different places at earth, and when it shines. In USA and in Russia, there are several time zones through the country, and this can be the siuation also at several other places at earth! Hence, we must know what the time is when we travel from place to place.
The American Benjamin Franklin suggested summer time already in 1784. The British person William Willett published a work on summer time in 1904, and he suggested that we should put the clock back or forth 80 minutes to save energy. And later on, the decision was to quiet at one hour until summer. And every country in the world began to set at an hour during World War number 1, but this arrangement we do not need! It is just to make time a little more comfortable! The day and the night is still 24 hours in total, but we just adjust time to light and darkness. Maybe, one can calculate exactly how much the time should be from time to time. And then we must remember that this was something we found!
The idea of having summer time is to utlize the daylight better, and to get daylight one extra hour in the evening! The summer time can also mean lower consumption of energy! And when it is getting darker in nature, we clock back one hour! This idea can be deleted from our memory, and the European Union (EU) has talked about taking this time adjustment away from the earth! We have to see if there will be a change, and what this change will imply! As humans, we should think every time, and we should use time in such ways that we get a convenient time at earth and in the universe!
