You are in new York. It’s 1000. For you in new York, it’s the middle of night. You’ll wake up in a few hours. Your day usually goes about with wake up and work around 1400, lunch around 1800, end of work around 2200, sleep around 600. You can live you life with that. It’s merely a social construct. It’s completely stupid as a construct because it’s not setup for your actual day

You say it’s not set up for your day, but how exactly? As a new yorker would it not be just as natural to wake up at 14:00 as it is to wake up at 7:00 today?

The 0 means absolutely nothing. The 12 and the 24 neither.

They mean the exact same thing. The start of July 22., the middle of, the end of.

Why have a 24 hours clock for this?

This has not changed at all either. Only reason to have that is because it can be divided up into nice chunks.

Now you need to work with someone in the UK. Can you talk to him right now? Who knows? You need to ask Internet about the time delay between where you live and where he lives.

In other words this has not changed either. So not a downside?

But there’s nothing to do about timezones. It’s and effect of the spherical earth and general relativity. In physics, there is a clock for each and every position, and a delay between each. Most of the time it doesn’t matter, so you use your local time. But when it does, you do timezones. Because that’s how the world physically works.

There is no reason to use this idea of time. By this logic time does not move at the poles in a day, since the earth’s rotation doesn’t affect it. Should we not have a special timezone that goes from 0 to 24 in a year, so it respects the sun’s zenith?
