>>. At least according to Rebbi  
(Yoma 85b), Yom Kippur is mechaper even without Teshuvah. I do not  
understand how that would work<<

The inuyim of Yom Kippur provide atonement, the same as any punishment or  
consequence or suffering inflicted by a bais din or by Shomayim -- not total  
atonement, in the absence of teshuva, but at least partial kapara.  The  fact 
that you went hungry and thirsty for 24 hours is certainly a form of  suffering. 
 Somewhere it says that even if you put your hand in your pocket  and thought 
for a minute that your money was lost -- and found it in the other  pocket a 
minute later -- the moment of anguish when you thought it was gone is  also a 
kaparah.
