SeanF:

My point exactly. WE created the concept of 24 hour days to accomodate US, not the universe.

Which is the point that has been bothering me during this whole thread. It didn't occur to me until today to look up the history of the sundial, which provided the historical account of how we came up with the 24 hour day in the first place. Since Oriel36 loves to quote historical texts, I figured he wouldn't listen to a differing viewpoint without some reference or other.

I hope this finally puts this to rest. =D>
