What If Your Day Was 10x Shorter

*What if your whole day lasted just 2 hours and 24 minutes?* Theo has seven breakfasts and seven naps before dinner. He's seen the first half of every movie ever made. His body clock runs ten times faster than everyone else's, and when his 2.4 hours are up, he falls asleep wherever he is. On a mission past Neptune, the crew finds an icy world whose day matches his perfectly, along with two glowing aliens named Pim and Oru. Then the ice cracks and his crewmate Nova falls into a crevasse. Theo has twelve minutes before he sleeps. He can get back to the lander, or he can hold Nova's line knowing he'll fall asleep holding it. In this video you'll learn: ⏰ Why the human body clock runs on about 24 hours, and how morning light resets it 🛰️ Why astronauts on the space station see 16 sunrises every day 🔴 How long a day lasts on Mars (24 hours and 37 minutes) 🪐 Why Jupiter spins faster than any planet in the solar system: one day is about 10 hours 🌕 Why Venus spins backward, so slowly that one sunrise to the next takes about 117 Earth days 🥚 Why the dwarf planet Haumea spins once every 4 hours Which planet's sunrise would you want to wake up to?
