That's true enough as a matter of physics or whatever, but the fact remains that as a s historical fact of record time, 2:00 to 3:00 still never existed.

I'm in Arizona and it sure as hell existed.
Best song ever. I love Hanson.

Au contraire -- I can truthfully say that I most certainly was sound asleep at home in my bed at that instant in time.

Well, if the cops ever ask you "where were you at 2:21 a.m. on March 14, 2010," you can answer "nowhere. And neither were you."
Such whimsical existential observations only make sense when you specify the timezone. It doesn't require much further thought to highlight the folly in such whimsical thinking.Consider first that there are at least 24 timezones, counting just the "earth based" references, ignoring for now other frames of references such as UTC. Furthermore, how time is observed varies by county, by state, by country, and by continent. If we restrict ourselves to the United States, we only speak of a handful of timezones, which may vary within themselves between multiples states or counties, not to mention other sovereign domains such as Canada, and in Central and South America.As one transitions from "standard time" to "daylight savings time", it becomes immediately obvious that such a time still exists in "standard time". It's just that by convention the change in the referenced standard renders it unobserved.We could then say that this hour fails to be observed, leading us to existential questions not unlike trees falling in the forest making a sound.But rest assured, that while citizens of the United States, may feel robbed of an hour which did not exist, this hour transpired uneventfully in many parts of the rest of the world, in Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, Antarctica, in the seas, and elsewhere.

Might also be useful to specify which year.Of course when the original post is timestamped "3/13/2010 11:10PM", one can always trivially argue that it certainly never existed "yet".

It should have exsited, its all dependent on if you set your clocks 2 hours back at 2 o clock and then and 2 am set them a half hour forward
How did this work with TV schedules and DVR's?
I suppose a two hour movie starting at 1:30 am finished at 4:30 am.
Now if there was a one hour show starting at 1:00 am that you recorded, and you modified it to end one hour later would it record for a total of one hour or two hours?
The one hour show already went from 1 am to 3 am to start with.
Would it keep recording to 4 am with the additional hour or stop at 3?
I cannot believe someone seriously just posted the lyrics to mmmbop. How, what, why...yes.

Thank you, someone else has a clue.
Yeah 14/3/2010 2 am - 3 am definitely existed for me... Not everybody is in the portion of America and Canada that changed their clocks last night.
The OP did originally post the year 2010...people copying him left it out.
My computer and cable TV both made the leap from 2:00 to 3:00 automatically...obviously the "home office" did its job. However, a blog system I work in did not... so at first my new material did not sure up for an hour. But I fixed that.
Teg ran a 10k in that missing hour.
The original time stamp on my first post was 11:10 ad not 2:10 because I'm in the Eastern Time Zone and the time stamps here are based on Pacific Time.
Look...I was not attempting to start some scientific discussion here. The point is merely that in the time zones observing daylight savings, there would never be a record of that hour having existed as a time that was actually being observed by the denizens.
