Abstract

Before the human being thought of dividing into hours and minutes, The Sun was already the master of time by marking the beginning of the day, the change of seasons, the rhythm of harvests and life itself. Study the Sun, as astronomers, peasants, ancestral and contemporary cultures have done, is also studying how we organize ourselves as a society. There is a deeper rhythm that beats in the universe, in our body and in the Earth itself. A rhythm that we can learn to listen to, driven by human curiosity and knowledge of physics.
