It's still not 2007 here, yet. I wonder why the world can't all just use the same time zone. It doesn't make sense to have different parts of the world be in different years. Even though it's night in one place and day in another, it's still the same time.

BONUS QUESTION: If anyone comes to where I live from their part of the world where it's already 2007, will they be traveling back in time? :biggrin: Reverse: If I go to them, will I be going into the future? :p

Answer: No, you aren't technically going into the future.

Reasoning: For the sake of argument, let's just put it as the world was created (or finished forming itself) at an exact moment in time. At any given moment, X seconds have passed since that moment in time.

Changing location on the planet doesn't do anything to the value of X. Just what that area has as it's current time.


And I'm all for making the world one timezone if it wasn't that I hate night driving, and depending where you are in the world you'd be stuck with night driving every day (oxymoron >_<), sleeping when the sun is out...

Plus I function better when there's sunlight to work with, and I sleep better with the lights out XD


Oh, and I got like 3 hours and change left :( Already into a bottle of fake-wine though (sparkling grape juice ^_^)

The future thing wasn't intended to be a serious question.

Also, you wouldn't have to change when you drive. When you drive would really be the same time of day, but your clocks would change. If you woke up at 8:00 a.m. before, you would still wake up then but clocks would say something like 12:00 p.m.

Then we're assuming even if it's 12pm in all parts of the globe, that standard business hours (9am-5pm) aren't going to be the same depending where you are in the world :S

Thats the part that I was confused on - if it's 9am-5pm globally, some parts of the world are gunna be working in the dark while others enjoy the light.

If its 9am-5pm in one place and 9pm-5am elsewhere, then it's not much different than it is now with timezones, just that you aren't messing with the clocks when you change areas...


And I know the future thing wasn't a serious question, just felt like giving a semi-scientific-but-really-loaded-with-bs answer ;)


Edit: And why is it I drank all my fake-wine too early, AGAIN?!?
