Does California participate in Daylight Saving Time?
No, unfortunately it's not like Europe where all the time zones change at the same time. In most of North America, each time zone begins Daylight Saving Time at 2 AM local standard time and ends D.S.T. at 2 AM local daylight saving time. Therefore, since California is 3 hours behind eastern Florida, California begins and ends Daylight Saving Time 3 hours after eastern Florida does.

Does Fiji have daylight savings?
As of the initial writing of the answer in October 2008, Fiji did not operate a Daylight Savings program.
However, on 10 November 2009, Fiji's Cabinet approved a pilot Daylight Savings to take effect on the 29th of November, 2009 at 2.00am. Cabinet believes that altering the time by instigating a Daylight Savings Time program will help boost the Fijian economy. The change is for 2009/2010 only at this point but Cabinet has amended the Fiji Daylight Savings Act of 1998 to allow for declaring Daylight Savings time in future years. The Fijian clocks will revert to Standard time on Sunday, 25 April 2010 at 3.00 am.
During the late part of the 1990's, in a tussle with other nations grouped along the 180 meridian, several island nations such as Figi and Tongo experimented with moving their clocks ahead so to claim they were the first country to usher in the new millennium.
These claims were not recognized and in 2000, Fiji ceased it's Daylight Savings program, after finding there were no benefits to it. There had been no alteration of the time standard since that time until this year. Fiji time nominally is +12 hours to GMT.
Update 3 March, 2010
In response to a general disapproval of the Daylight Savings program, Cabinet decided to advance the reversion to Standard Time to 28 March, 2010. While Cabinet still believes there are benefits to the program, parents in particular were objecting because children had to make their way to school in the dark. Ministry of Education responded by moving back school starting times to 9am. This resulted in parents delaying their own arrivals at work. In turn, due to these tardy arrivals, businesses leaders and organizations were advocating starting at 9am instead of 8am.
Cabinet announced that Daylight Savings will resume 24 October, 2010 and revert to Standard Time on an unspecified date in March 2011.

Would daylight savings be useful to Antarctica?
Scientific stations in Antarctica usually operate on the local time for the government that they serve.
There is no standard time in Antarctica. If the country headquarters is on daylight savings time, then so is the Antarctic base. However, when the sun is up 24 hours out of the day, there's not much value to the notion.

Who first conceived the idea of daylight saving time and when?
Benjamin Franklin first suggested Daylight Saving Time in 1784, but modern DST was not proposed until 1895 when an entomologist from New Zealand, George Vernon Hudson, presented a proposal for a two-hour daylight saving shift to the Wellington Philosophical Society.
The conception of DST was mainly credited to an English builder, William Willett in 1905, when he presented the idea to advance the clock during the summer months. His proposal was published two years later and introduced to the House of Commons in February 1908. The first Daylight Saving Bill was examined by a select committee but was never made into a law. It wasn't until World War I, in 1916, that DST was adopted and implemented by several countries in Europe who initially rejected the idea.
What happens when the atmosphere is heated?
When the atmosphere is heated, air molecules gain energy and move faster, causing an expansion in volume. This expansion leads to a decrease in air density, resulting in lower pressure. As a result, warm air rises while cooler air sinks, creating atmospheric circulation patterns.
