Solar time for human-centric activities can return now that digital assistants run our lives. At the very least, we can have two dimensional time zones around major metros. I would like the sun to rise at seven am every single day, as I have evolved to expect. Machine-centric activities can stick with UTC.
- aeternum 6y ago>I would like the sun to rise at seven am every single day Unfortunately the Earth's orbital mechanics refuse to conform to this whim. The sun may rise for only a few hours at some latitudes, or not at all. Wouldn't it be much better if we all used a universal concept of time and only 'solar noon' plus the duration of day changed as we travel?
