Yesterday, many people in America had to put their clocks back an hour for daylight savings.
Today, I was wondering, if I set an alarm for 2:30am, would it go off twice? What about for 3am?
And, that leads to think of when daylight savings ends with the switch of the clocks forwards an hour at 2am in the morning on a nice Spring Sunday. What happens when I set my alarm for 2:30am on that same Sunday?
"Spring forward, fall back."

Inertia Dampeners
Re: Designing inetia dampeners.
First version would just be changing forward velocity to rotational energy. Or somehow, by moving forward, we could store a negative rotational energy. When stopping, apply a positive rotational energy and overall, not feel the effects of slowing down.
Most people who have heard of inertia dampeners may think of space ships in tv shows and movies. But, I want to apply inertia dampeners to vehicles here on Earth. For example, a car crash would be significantly less fatal if the effects of gravity and Newton's Laws of Motion weren't in play.
(I like to believe that technology and knowledge will eventually allow for great [current-]physics-law breaking.)
