It's interesting to think about how construed our notion of time really is. It is artificial and humanity did not always live like this.
And shouldn't noon be different in Chicago than Minneapolis? But they're the same. Certainly it would be complicated if each city was in a different time zone. China's pretty big and it's only in one time zone. Nor does it practice daylight savings time. What would the U.S. be like if we had one time zone and no DST? Would we then have different schedules in different parts of the year? Would schools in New York begin at 6:30 while schools in California begin at 9:30?
I think we need to have days where we don't worry about what time it is, though that is really hard to do in today's world.
