Are you wishing that there are more hours to the day than the 24 hours we currently have? Well, you will have your wish granted provided you live long enough!

The moon used to be much closer to the Earth a billion years ago, and take just 20 days to go around us to make a lunar month. A day on Earth back then was only 18 hours long.

So, if you live long enough, your wish for more hours in a day will be granted!
