    1- How can you divide the duration of the day?
    2- How do I determine the volume of an irregular body?
    3- Why do bodies fall?

    I notice that you can answer every question asked of you. A better method would be to answer the questions correctly or admit you do not know the answers.

    What precise question did these three million people ask? Did they ask it in unison, all on the same day, or singly, over the full year?
    So, 4001 years ago, the sun did not traverse the sky?

    My guess is that Og the caveman, many millennia before that, was toasting a mammoth over an open fire and thinking it would be nice when the sun came up again and he could see the saber-teeth coming.

    It has always done it, but nobody cared.

    Hard to believe 196,000 years of Homo sapiens never looking up at the sun.
    Until... suddenly.... one morning in 2019BC, +/-3000000 Egyptians asked:
    What time is it?

    The first homo sapiens realized that the Sun shone in the sky and projected light and heat towards the earth. But, it was Egyptians who related the Sun to the measure of time.

    And the Aztecs, the Chinese, the Babylonians, the Mohawks, the Celts, the Australians, the Anasazi...
    You don't much about much, do you?

    SCIENTIFIC RELATIONS

    Scientific relations are used by man to study reality.

    1- The observer in relation to movement. For example, Mechanics. Use of reference systems.

    2- Cause-effect relation. For example: Biology, Chemistry, Astronomy, Meteorology, Optics, Acoustics, Thermodynamics, etc.

    3- Prolonged sequential relation of events or changes. For example: History, Cinematography, Music, Philochrony, etc.

    In Philochrony, the observer has as reference the metaphor of time train to understand time.

    I'm sure it had something to do with hunting season and how to get home in time before dark.

    Well, Asexperia explained that nobody had been aware of time before, for hunting or sailing, building or fighting or any of the other stuff they'd been doing all that ti- ... er... while.
    So the Egyptians, who were staid old farmers by then, suddenly, all at once, realized that they'd lose fewer oxen and gain fewer crocodiles, if they knew when to expect high tide on the Nile. I suppose.

    Well, I believe it started a little earlier than that. This brainless single celled slime mold has an awareness of time.
    Watch and marvel at this amoeba performing the most intricate mathematical feats of internal communication about its environment.


    IMO, this is even more fundamentally related to bacterial "quorum sensing", wich is a bacterial "population density timing" function.
    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/11544353/

    And here is the demonstration of how quorum sensing is used as a bacterial timing device.

    In an infinite number of regular increments, relative to the duration of earth's orbit around the sun.
    Fill it with a liquid and measure the volume of the liquid by weight.
    Warping of spacetime, a universal wave function identified by David Bohm as the pilot wave?

    THE KINDS OF EXPERIMENT

    An experiment is the controlled practical experience used to study reality and deepen their knowledge.

    1) Of laboratory: it is applied in Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Medicine.

    2) Of field. It is divided into two classes:
    ..... a) Sociometric: it is applied in Statistics and Economics.
    ..... b) Natural: it is applied in Botany, Zoology, Geology and Astronomy.

    3) Psychometric: it is applied in Psychology.

    4) Chronological: it is applied in History and Philochrony.
