The importance of time

In 550 years, based on the way our clocks are now set, we will be approximately one hour out of sync with Earth's orbit around the sun. An important and critical matter for some delegates who on January 19th came together for a meeting at a UN agency responsible for regulating global time.

I don't know what to think of this. Seriously? What else is there to say.

I feel reassured knowing that there are professionals out there watching over our time and making sure that the future generation (550 years from today) does not miss out on a full hour. It is important to get our priorities straight and to use our time, our limited time, wisely. 

Thank you George Stroumboulopoulos for posting this and for the link to Christian Marclay's footage from The Clock.
