Why do time zones and daylight savings jump by full hours? This is madness and it leads to unnecessary human suffering. With the power of mathematics and quadratic/sinusoidal regressions we shall heal this harm. Let time be a continuous function. Let timezones change by micro seconds as you move over the earth. Let us creep forward over weeks, no more “spring forward”! We shall seep back— never falling.
