2.

The sun came up early, but I continued to sleep.
I sat up, and the sun was already up. The sun came up over the horizon, which of course was an illusion, since the sun actually stays in one place while the Earth perpetually spins with a certain ROTATION and ORBIT that causes it to reveal all of itself to the sun every 24 hours or so.

Why is the hour defined as 1/24 of a DAY? We know that 1 MONTH must be an approximation of one lunar cycle, e.g. the moon mak in g one full ORBIT (and in the case of our friend the MOON, the ROTATION is exactly the same length as the ORBIT (How can this be, you ask? How can the ROTATION and ORBIT, out of all of the different possibilities, be exactly the same? There must be a force, you're saying to yourself. A powerful guiding hand that keeps the moon ROTATING at that speed, exactly the same as the ORBIT time. (Were you thinking this to yourself? I'm sorry if I'm coming across as presumptuous...) The truth is, the great forces of the TIDES on Earth make the Earth so interesting to the man in the moon that he cannot turn away. He's holding the moon back from turning faster so he can look at the Earth continually for the rest of the approximately 5 billion years the sun has left to give off enough light to illuminate the Earth to be looked at. It's the TIDAL FORCES on Earth that cause the moon to have the same ROTATION and ORBIT time.)), but what about a WEEK? What about an HOUR?

I don't know what an HOUR is, but I'd like to figure it out, so I can learn how to exploit them better, while I still have them. On average, in America, a human life has only about 666,000 of them. Spend them safely and wisely. Use one when the devil comes a-knockin'.
