Angrry.exe™ Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Every year, in the last week of March, Romania and many other countries around the world pass by the summer hour, giving the clock an hour earlier. At the same time, each one in the last week of October, all of these countries go back to the standard time, or the winter time, giving the clock back an hour. This habit has been formed so that we can enjoy as much natural light as possible throughout the year. In case you did not know, here are some curiosities about changing the clock from the winter to the summer and back. The first man to come up with the idea of changing the clock was Benjamin Franklin. He wrote a paper about saving natural light. The idea came to him in Paris, trying to find a way to save the light for this city. Subsequently, he wrote a paper on the subject, entitled "A project to reduce the cost of light". Although Benjamin Franklin was the one who came up with the idea, it was more promoted by William Wilett, who wrote a pamphlet called "Loss of Daylight". The concept was first adopted by Germany and Austria-Hungary during the First World War on April 30, 1916. Romania adopted the concept a year later. In September 1999, West Bank terrorists sent clock bombs, their Israel partners, for an assault. Due to the fact that the West Bank was in the summer and Israel remained at the winter time throughout the year, the Israeli terrorists misinterpreted the time on the bombs and the bombs killed 3 terrorists instead of 2 buses full of people. If two twins are born on the night of the changeover, one at 3:55 in the morning and one 10 minutes later, the order in which they were born changes. That's because the first one was born at 3:55 and the second at 3:05 am. If autumn can change the order in which twins are born (in papers) in the spring, when the change is made to the summer time, there is an hour blank in which no baby is ever born (because hour 3 becomes 4 o'clock). In 2006, the United States changed the date of the summer to winter transition so that the kids could ride on the Halloween light, but the carolites waited for the dark to get out of the house. Antarctica does not belong to any time zone, because it always has light in the summer and night continues in the winter, but the researchers who are settled in the research base there give their clock back to know the hour they work.
