I've always wondered about the longer/sorter day/night thing in relation to time keeping. The vast majority of devices use a quartz crystal manufactured to oscillate at a given frequency. This frequency is not static and can be affected by external factors such as temperature, humidity, electro-magnetic and ionising radiation. Im no physicist but is it possible to introduce a sort of elecro-magnetic interference that would effectively change the resonant frequency of a quartz crystal? If so then it would be possible to manipulate the time keeping of any device that uses one, which no doubt number in the billions and are often used to "correct" non-quartz mechanical devices. Would explain how clock would "keep time" relative to the day/night cycle.

I must have missed where DOOM was mentioned or even eluded to.
hmm.
I'm sure someone will be able to show me.edit on 24-1-2013 by Screwed because: (no reason given)
During what was known as the Montauk projects of the late 60’s and early 70’s, scientists under the influence of the misguided ones, experimented with time travel technology and hit a time wall on that date. They could not travel beyond that day on earth in linear time, because earth no longer exists after that day in the lower realms of linear time.

This seems to imply MEGA-Doom:

After all there really is no such thing as Ascension to a higher plane of whatever, and while there may be bazillions of quantum multiverses (maybe there's one where I don't have to work, hmmm) there's no other plane where light love and happiness is all washing over humanity and making us all get along..

quartz vibrates at a set rate.. It's shielded inside your compy you type on right now, much like the sensitive hard drive that doesn't get erased around all the electricity flowing around..
It's also not the only time keeping device.. There are also atomic clocks.. However if time itself as a dimension is shifting in relation to us, no time keeping device will notice.. It will still tell you that there are 24 hours per day..
As we accelerate into the Andromeda galaxy time will actually start slowing down..

On a long enough timeline, everyone's survival rate drops to zero. We are doomed from birth. Just a fact of life for biological organisms.

A crystal oscillator is an electronic oscillator circuit that uses the mechanical resonance of a vibrating crystal of piezoelectric material to create an electrical signal with a very precise frequency. This frequency is commonly used to keep track of time (as in quartz wristwatches), to provide a stable clock signal for digital integrated circuits, and to stabilize frequencies for radio transmitters and receivers. The most common type of piezoelectric resonator used is the quartz crystal, so oscillator circuits incorporating them became known as crystal oscillators, but other piezoelectric materials including polycrystalline ceramics are used in similar circuits.
Quartz crystals are manufactured for frequencies from a few tens of kilohertz to tens of megahertz. More than two billion crystals are manufactured annually. Most are used for consumer devices such as wristwatches, clocks, radios, computers, and cellphones. Quartz crystals are also found inside test and measurement equipment, such as counters, signal generators, and oscilloscopes.

Try and comprehend that he is talking about March 21st 2013, not Today, and you will be a long way to understanding how your post makes no sense.
