WV: So, the Universal Time Zone system. What lead you to argue so strongly for that option? HH: Because from a physics point of view, there IS only one time!

WV: So, the Universal Time Zone system. What lead you to argue so strongly for that option? HH: Because from a physics point of view, there IS only one time! Um... this would've been a more convincing argument if there was an attempt to use physics, any physics here. "Relative to the centre of the Earth... relative to ..." well, anything, really. The fact that some of our most interesting time sources--GPS satellites--have the difference in their relative time baked into how they operate is a score against the whole "only one time" idea.
