Global Time Zone
Erthbeet’s development of a Global Time Zone is not a theory. It is a new time proposal that has already been launched & is working for the world right now. The Erthbeet Global Time Zone has no effect on our current time zones, or our local times or daylight savings. Creating a new global time zone or a Universal World Time solution for the world doesn’t need to be complex. Erthbeet has a non-destructive global time solution that is not complex, and leaves the existing time zones alone.
We believe our Global Time Zone is the best current proposal in the world for a Universal World Time solution that unifies all the time zones, while leaving the existing time zones intact. In other words, we have found a way to have a global time zone while leaving everyone’s local time, & the worlds clocks just the way they always have been.
The thought of a global time zone has captured the imagination of many. No global time zone proposal has yet succeeded, & the proof lies in the fact that one has not been in use prior to the Erthbeet Global Time Zone. Up until now, there appears to have been only two types of thought in producing a global time zone:
(1) Single Standard Time Zone: Remove the existing time zones & have just one, based on one UTC +0 standard time zone
(2) Single New Time Zone: Remove the whole existing time system, including hours & minutes, & create entirely new & global, divisions of time.
Without any poll done on this subject, it is probably fairly safe to say that the vast majority of people will not want either of the above time models. Either of the above systems would cost trillions of dollars in implementation, governmental agreements, & running two parallel time systems for a decade or more, not to mention the local politics ‘nightmare’ for each country of getting everyone to accept. Such an undertaking would be hard enough even in non-democratic countries, let alone democratic ones.
Such an immense change as our core global time system would require the changing of most of the worlds stationary, clocks & watches, phones, software, education, history references, firmware, electronics, security systems, satellite protocols, internet network protocols, the UTC specification, astronomy, social networking, computer architecture & so, so much more. Changing or removing our time zones would produce considerable transitional dangers to aviation, railway, space flight, security & medicine.
Common Time Association
Time zones are necessary, because the Earth, unfortunately, is a spinning sphere. We may have internet, & be connected etc, but we’re more local than global when it comes to time. We need time notation to have the same meaning to everyone, where ever they live. When someone tweets “Whoah, I didn’t get up until 10am this morning”, then everyone knows exactly what 10am means. While watching a movie, one of the characters may say “Hey Dad, it’s 11pm, I’m going to bed – See ya tomorrow.” & all viewers will know exactly when 11pm means. We are labeling this as: ‘Common Time Association’. Both of the above examples are referring to the use of time for Common Time Association.
The vast majority of time use is in someone’s expression of time, where everyone hearing or reading an expressed time, is able to understand when it is, because of Common Time Association. If we were to have one global time zone with one global time clock, then the loss of Common Time Association for the human race would cause terrible confusion, frustration, anxiety & financial cost.
A World Stripped of Time Zones
Let’s move into a world that has removed all time zones & has only one static time zone, with only one global time clock. ‘James’ lives in Houston, & the world operates on one time zone & a global clock time. At 18:00 James reads a news article:
“A popular New Zealand ski slope had a massive avalanche at 11:14 measuring 7.6. Fortunately it was night time, so no-one was hurt. “
Remember that 11:14 is both the same clock reading & moment of time globally in a world with no time zones. James knows what part of the day 11:14 is where he lives. But James has absolutely no idea what 11:14 means in New Zealand. And he will never be totally sure of what part of the day it means for New Zealand, unless he looks up a chart. He doesn’t know because there is no Common Time Association. Time Zones were created to give the world both synchronicity & Common Time Association. Time Zones are one of the greatest innovations in the last 200 years, & removing them would remove an indispensable innovation.
