Hi Tracy,

The way we define time is rather self centered and is base on the earth having twenty-four time zones. As the earth make a 360 rotation each day, each of the time zone will be in the 12 period when that zone is directly facing the sun. Therefore the opposite side of the earth would be in the 12 period or midnight (24 time zone military). So time goes from 1 to 24. At 24.59 or 12.59 midnight you go to the 1 time zone or 1.00. This all become pretty irrelevant if you were removed from this solar system and place on the other side of the galacy. Beside, does time really even exit and if so what is it? Some of the mose fundamental forces are still not well understood like what is gravity, space/time relation, and what exist beyond the speed of light?

Wow, I just re-read this and I need to cut back on my coffee. <g>
