The illusion of clocks

a threat to health

Abstract

The mechanistic or digitality of watches is the immutability of the length of time slices. However, historically 24 hours timing had as a reference, at first, the environmental cues associated with the conditions of the day and night that are dif erent in dif erent places on earth. The emergence of a subfield of biology, Chronobiology in the mid-twentieth century led to the interpretation that the apprehension of time of a day as mechanical regularity alienates human perception of daily temporality as the integration between environmental and biological temporality. I intend to show here that this perceptual misunderstanding of the 24h temporality can result in a physiological temporal disorganization that is the source or is associated with the source of many modern diseases
