Universal Time - no more time zones

The radical plan to destroy time zones

Looking over this chaotic landscape, it's reasonable to ask: Are time zones inherently flawed? That's what Steve Hanke and Dick Henry think.

A few years back Hanke, a prominent economist with Johns Hopkins University and a senior fellow with the CATO Institute think tank, and Henry, a professor of physics and astronomy at Johns Hopkins, teamed up to propose a new calendar designed to fix the inefficiencies of the current one. The plan was dubbed the "Hanke-Henry Permanent Calendar." Last month, after reading a WorldViews story about Pyongyang time, Hanke reached out to us to detail another idea that he and Henry had devised to fix the chaos caused by time zones.

The plan was strikingly simple. Rather than try to regulate a variety of time zones all around the world, we should instead opt for something far easier: Let's destroy all these time zones and instead stick with one big "Universal Time."

If you spent less time on here and more time flying around the world making deals it would matter more to you.

This is really going to screw up our recruits.

I think Schilling would play considerably better.

As long as the world operates on Floyd Daylight Hours, I don't care what rest of the world does when I'm being productive.

You know, they have cell phones now. I'm in Myanmar at the moment making fat deals. Don't assume things goose. It makes an ass of u, as they say.

An interesting idea, but to anyone who is heavily involved with international communication or travel, a universal time is already used (GMT). For the rest of us, local time is all that matters.

Trump would never allow us to have the same time as the Middle East.

I'm going to build a wall around time and make the universe pay for it.

After I exposed your lie, you should be banned and your avatar burned.

That means you have to retire. If you retire, we I'll hand your avatar from the our virtual rafter.

If you guys put a banner at the top of the page with my avatar on it, I will never post again. Perma ban, but it won't matter. I won't post. Ever.

I'll talk to management, Travis.

by **Turtleneck** Sat 13 Feb 2016 - 22:06

Nigel, can we retire Trav's avatar?

You should start a thread where we'll vote on it.
