'Universal Time'.
I just heard about this proposal on a Morning Talk Show. Every one on the Planet uses the exact same 'time' as everyone else. If it is 1400 in London, it's 1400 in New York, Tokyo, and Moscow. I was a little skeptical at first, but after listening to these two old guys, I think it has merit.
There would be no more 'setting your watch' up or back depending on what Time Zone you were in. It would be completely detached from the usual thinking that 7am is in the morning and 9pm is in the evening. It would be a '24 hour clock', no more 'two 6 o'clocks', just a 100 to 2400 (or 000 to 2400) clock.
Any thoughts?

What a stupid idea.
As it is now, everything wherever you go happens more or less at the same time. Stores open at 9am, supper is at 6pm, etc. But, with universal time, wherever you travel, you'd have to mentally convert everything from the universal time. If you land in California or New York, from Asia or Europe, when do the stores open and when is supper, if it's 1200 around the globe?
Ape lives matter. Stop putting them in zoos. Boycott businesses that don't hire apes.
Then answered all the Jews, and said, Jesus' blood be on us, and on our children. So be it.
Jews want to turn America into an atheistic, amoral, socialist farmyard.

Hi Jack! I think most people would convert it mentally to 'old time', then they would know whether it's morning, afternoon, etc.

Most Americans are still ignorant of the metric system. That has been universal for a long time. Americans do not adapt.

Time should honor Einsteins special relativity and depend on frame of reference ,gravitational field, and velocity .
Yeah. Well, the two old guys that proposed this, said it would probably go over like the 'Metric System'. Meaning, the United States is the only country in the World that doesn't use the Metric System.
You know Tranquillus, it's kind of sad that even the English don't use the 'English System' anymore ... only the Americans still use it.
