Which is exactly the same as using standard time all year and then moving all your appointments 1 hour earlier for the rest of eternity.
Except that "noon" ceases to mean the time when the sun is highest in the sky equidistant between sunrise and sunset and "midnight" ceases to be the middle of the night.
In this respect, standard time makes more sense. In no respect does "daylight time" make more sense.
Still, anything that makes us stop changing the clocks twice a year is fine with me.
- henrikschroder 8y agoSolar noon coincides with noon for a pretty small amount of places, take a look at this map: http://blog.poormansmath.net/images/SolarTimeVsStandardTimeV2.png http://blog.poormansmath.net/images/SolarTimeVsStandardTimeV... Only the thin stripes of white have it, for every other place solar noon is off by minutes, if not hours.
