It's not other people failing to understand. We just disagree. A world without timezones would not be simpler, it would just shift complexity around. Beyond that, it is tilting at windmills to suggest this sort of international coordination.
Theres no need for international "leadership" or guesswork here. China has already adopted a single clock for the whole nation. Maybe somebody living there can advise how a nation with such a wide longitudinal spread operates with a single time reference.
- imoverclocked 7y agoCan you be specific about what would be more complex without timezones?
- ycombobreaker 7y agosorry for the the delayed response, but people will always have a need to communicate in terms at least approximating local solar time (e.g. dawn/noon/dusk). right now everyone can use "time" for that. force everyone to a global reference clock and they will just have to make up some new, local, nonstandard concepts and terms to reflect what was once just "time".
