    At this point, I don’t know if you are trolling or not. You keep saying that this is nothing like timezones, while describing something that really looks like timezones to anyone else reading it.

    Do you suggest we all use one unique time, regardless of local solar time? Or do you suggest we all use our own local solar time, based on each person’s exact longitude on the globe, regardless of borders and current timezones ?

      it depends on how it’s implemented, but essentially, we do away with our current concept of timezones, and then use UTC or something, for example. But we reimplement the timezone maps for our local solar time offsets. So that way we still have a consistent system. Just without timezones.
