Daylight Saving Time lets us turn back the hands of time but without the rousing life-changing benefits. DST makes no sense. It is an arbitrary, whimsical exercise in futility whose reasons for existing were based in myths and untruths. So, who’s brainchild was DST?

In 1895, he presented a paper to the Wellington Philosophical Society in which he proposed the idea of DST.
