Simply put if you have lunch at exactly 12:00
right now does it matter if it is called 12:00,
5, or 2 or any other number you want depending
on where in relation to you that fixed point is
located. but after universal time, if you tell
me or DJY call between 7-8 we all know exactly
what you mean and when to call the same way it
would be true with someone in your time zone.
So New York could be having lunch at 12:00 but I would be having lunch (in Chicago) at 1:00, Denver 2:00, L.A., 3:00 etc?
The time would have no immediate reflection on the location of the sun.......that is until people caught on to the concept.
It's weird. I still see an issue with people not relating to the times of other people...
Example: Don't call Chan in China, it's 2AM over there!
We are supposed to respond "so what, 2AM is lunchtime in China!" (Just an example I didn't get out my world map to figure this out.) But is this a likely scenario?
That's tough change to swallow like like swallowing beef jerky without chewing or like the Dorito I once swallowed without chewing.......I survived, but it hurt like hell going down. Now I know what it's like to swallow an equalateral triangle.....it's like a dull three-sided knife!
