A day, the arrangement

 So, anyone who has been paying much attention is aware that we only get one day at a time.  This arrangement is mostly on account of the earth spinning, very rapidly, which I would like to know, is there some kind of compensation involved with that set up or does it just come " free " out of the box?  Questions like that often go unanswered.  Nevertheless, it might be clear that as far as humans are concerned, this was not always the image; as for much of our history , the earth did not spin, which to many today appears like a ridiculous idea, but undoubtedly to people living 1000 or 2000 years ago, that was not ridiculous.

So, we have this amazing mechanism, that for all we know, costs nothing, and works flawlessly.  If you ever spent much time with machines, you are probably aware that --- flawlessness --, is like an almost unreachable goal, everyone has their own standards.   So, these are big questions.  Oddly, however, they are very persistent questions and questions that we have been asking ourselves and discussing with each other for many generations.  It's that simple question, why is this so?  Simple question , but again not such an easy question for anyone to answer. But, of course, it does depend on the context.  

However, there is another question which we are also quite intent upon, which is ,clearly, why should this be not so, and how do I make it work.  This particular question is indeed, almost unavoidable, because, unlike the spinning of the earth, those things  we need to repair, and sometimes they are physical things, but sometimes not, require our interaction.  Oddly those do require our attention today, but sometimes we maneuver that and believe in, or pray for, tomorrow.
