> Timezones are already an abstraction that separates clock noon and solar noon. In places, clock noon and solar noon are already forever an hour or more apart even during standard time. Sometimes even places with the same longitude are an hour or more apart.

Eastern Poland has two hours of difference with neighbouring Belarus, however it has the same time as Western Spain which is in reality over two hours apart.
