Talk:2050: 6/6 Time

This is actually how time worked in ancient Greece, minus the 6 o'clock part. Sunrise was at 12, sunset at 12 and the length of each hour varied depending on the part of the year 172.68.189.163 16:15, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

Not just Greece but most of medeaval Europe. The concept of a fixed length hour only arises with clockwork. that Noon, the ninth hour, now occurs at the sixth hour - that we call 12 - is mainly due to post black death labour shortages. -- Arachrah (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

Also ancient Rome. I think Romans borrowed this system from Greeks and it later spread along with the Roman Empire's influence. 172.68.10.22 16:52, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

Some facts: September equinox was at 01:54 UTC on September 23 when in the entire US it still was September 22 as can be seen here: U.S. Naval Observatory Astronomical Applications Department (Apsides and Seasons 2018). This comic was released two days later. --Dgbrt (talk) 16:32, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

Could the timing of this comic be related to the EU voting to end DST within its borders? 108.162.241.100 16:51, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
