That the reason we are experiencing more and more daylight is that the Earth has wobbled out of its orbit and we are hurtling out of control toward the sun.

A neighbor, the father of a friend of mine, shared this theory with a group of my peers back when I was a kid. Later I realized that he had simply borrowed the storyline of a "Twilight Zone" episode called "The Midnight Sun."

Of course, in that show, it turned out that the vision of crashing into the sun was just a feverish woman's dream. In reality, our planet was rapidly moving farther and farther away from the sun. Which also spelled doom.

Which way would you rather go?
