If you were living there, on Star Date 29941426, would you celebrate Earthly events? It would be difficult to celebrate a midwinter feast on a planet with a long year where most people never experience winter. And will you celebrate your Earth birthday or your Pluto or Mars birthday? Would your age, measured in years, change as you moved from planet to planet? How do you compare the ages of Earthlings and Marslings?
If the colonists do celebrate Christmas will they celebrate it every 365 Earth days? Or will they adjust the date to their own planet?
Will time still be measured in Earth days in the far future? Will it be easy to adjust to a new day and a new year?
Join us at GeekSpeak on Saturday at noon SLT to discuss time and Christmas in the future. Bring your friends and an atomic clock.
