If anybody's read xkcd (comic 162) this is what SDRE Day is based on. On December 13, 2009, we spin counterclockwise for one minute at 14:15 (or clockwise, if you're in the southern hemisphere). I don't know if this will actually work, but let's try it anyways!!

When you say we, do you mean us as a person? Or the earth? But if its people, I think it would be interesting. I don't think it would cause a large slow down, but than again, I'm not an expert at that stuff.

Not a large slow down at all, but the event is also to celebrate 2009 as the 400th anniversary of astronomy.

This is utterly bizarre.
However, I do intend to FORCE my physics class to partake in this (if it is a school day). Otherwise, I'll just rant about it for a while.
It would be interesting if you did see hundreds of people spinning round seemingly spontaneously.

Well I did it on December 13th. How do we know if it did anything? Or is that not the point of it? sweatdrop

oh my!
sounds EXACTLY like the kind of spontaneous, crazy, seemingly pointless thing i would do!!!
sounds like funn!

count me in xd

one problem though
14:15 in one place may not be the same time in another place
so do we do it at 14:15 in our native time zone? or all at the same time exactly, in which case (if not the time zone u already stated) it would be best to state the time in UTC
