If humanity ever takes to the stars and begin to live traveling

Atomic clocks could determine seconds, but anything higher than that would be arbitrary.

I suppose it depends on how important the sun is.

Most planet colonization plans have everyone living under 6 feet of dirt in order to avoid radiation damage. If you are doing that, then there is no point in synchronizing your schedule to a sun you never see.

If you are on a space station, asteroid, or tidally locked planet, you can make days and nights any length you want, so why make people adjust to anything new?

Only in the distant future would people be walking around with light from a different star visible most of the day. Who knows what we will be by the time that happens?

Assuming that circadian rhythm cannot be changed, then probably. People living on those planets would be permanently jet lagged.

Yup

>>8700444
Is there any reason to assume that, though?

>how would we measure time
Differently.

are you far even as decided dude?
LMAOOOO

you program a computer to parse your navigation log data and perform a Lorentz transformation on your experienced time to display earth time.

If you were going really fast the earth time would look like it was going a lot slower than your on board clocks.

For every 24 hours, you need 8-9 hours of sleep to function at full capacity. You can't just sleep for 15 hours and wake up for 15 hours. However psychology is complicated and more research should be done on this topic.

Earth is flat and your all a bunch of stupid nerds.

We would utilize a cascading set of time-dimensional standards.

It would need to go
Cosmological -> Galaxy -> Planetary/habitat (in case you live in a Dyson sphere and whatnot) -> biological (to account for altered physiology/psychology)
