I look forward quite a bit to when I get off work. But then I get home and I am just exhausted and am thinking about getting to sleep so that I can get enough sleep to wake up on time to get back there to do it all again. That’s fine. I mean, it’s the way it goes. I just feel like it is a motivating factor to me - all day - the time I get to go home.. But then once I’m here, it’s all about getting back there.

It makes me wonder: What would it take to just be happy with the moment, rather than continually thinking of another time? To enjoy the time of being at work while there and then enjoy the time of being home while here? But then I do. I just feel like I spend a lot of time thinking about other, future times.. How long before I have to be back there? How long before I get to go home?

Meh.

I have no sense of time.

Motion and time equals energy. You can’t have energy without motion and time. You can’t have time without motion and energy. You can’t have motion without time and energy.

So anyway, does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care?

I mean, time plays a factor. I won’t have dinner at four. I won’t be working come five (or six.) I won’t be awake at four. I can look forward to next tuesday. I can remember last Saturday. I know that today is Saturday the 13th of June, 2009. But do I really know that or do I just retain what I have been told. Hell to be honest, I had to look at my desktop to know it was the 13th. June I knew, but that’s only because it lasts so long - you get used to it. 2009 I know because it already was 2008 for awhile and then we had a New Years party. But you know what I am trying to say. What is time really? What difference does it really make? Now people that work from dawn to dusk, because they are farming or setting up an outdoor shop, I understand. But who really gives a rat’s ass if it is 6pm or 7pm? Wouldn’t it be better to just do things in their relation to the sun? I’ll be there at dawn tomorrow.

But no. I don’t really get it. I don’t understand why time is so important.

1440 / 360 = 4.

1440 minutes in a day

360° in a circle or around a sphere (globe)

4 6-hour segments in a day (or 2 12s)

or 1° of rotation every 4 minutes.

60 / 4 = 15.

15 / 4 = 3.75

In a full circle there are 360 degrees. Each degree is split up into 60 parts, each part being 1/60 of a degree. These parts are called minutes. Each minute is split up into 60 parts, each part being 1/60 of a minute. These parts are called seconds. Trigonometry [id.mind.net]

Minutes, and seconds, in time, in degrees, and in latitude / longitude.  The Earth is divided equally into 360 degrees of longitude subdivided into minutes and seconds: there are 60 minutes (’) per degree, and 60 seconds (”) per minute.  A degree of latitude is approximately 69 miles, and a minute of latitude is approximately 1.15 miles. A second of latitude is approximately 0.02 miles, or just over 100 feet.  Geography [nationalatlas.gov]

Yes, there is a point to all of this.

The circumference of the earth at the equator is 24,901.55 miles (40,075.16 kilometers). Geography [about.com]

This means 69.170972 miles per degree, broken into 60 minutes broken into 60 seconds.

The numbers aren’t perfect but we are seeing roughly 24,901 miles around the earth, which spins 360° every 24 hours, or roughly 1000 miles per hour at 15° every hour. 60 / 15 = 4. so 4° every 15 minutes. 15 * 24 = 360. 15 / 4 = 3.75 so 3.75° every 4 minutes or 0.9375° per minute.

15 * 24 = 360   A second of latitude is about 100 feet

so a degree of latitude is 360,000 feet; a minute, 6,000; a second, 100ft.

QED

Motion and Time equals Energy, and you can’t have Energy without Motion and Time, and you can’t have Time without Motion and Energy, and you can’t have Motion without Energy and Time.
