This book explores the development of a universal time-keeping system as a solution to the problems arising from local time-keeping in an era of rapid expansion of travel and communication. The author traces the historical attempts to establish a Prime Meridian and a common system of time, highlighting the challenges and objections encountered along the way. The book delves into the complexities of timekeeping, examining the relationship between time, longitude, and the Earth's rotation. It also considers the social and economic implications of adopting a universal time system, discussing the potential benefits and drawbacks. Ultimately, the book argues for the adoption of a single, global time standard as a practical and necessary step towards greater international cooperation and efficiency.
