Why is a 24-hour day/night cycle so essential? As someone who lives in the
extreme northern latitudes, I know that people and life get along very well
with extended periods of sunlight and darkness. Barrow, Alaska sees two
straight months of sunlight and two straight months of darkness every year.
Why would, say, the moon's 14-earth-day day/night cycle be such a problem?
