A History of Time Zones
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 чер 2020
- Today we use time zones to standardize the clock from place to place, but for most of history that difference was merely relative, and never exact. It wasn’t until relatively recently that anyone made an effort to standardize time with a set of rules. The History Guy recalls the forgotten story of how the world developed a system of uniform standard time.

I shall comment without any desire to draw the history guy to the Dark Side. That would be Daylight Wasting Time, which is never been proven to save energy, the primary "reason" put forth by the Forces of Evil.. There is no need for it on the farm because the farmer works according to actual daylight, no matter the "time," and so should we all.
Do you remember the old days of calling a phone number to find out the time?
I've retired, and the only times I care about are breakfast time, lunch time, dinner time, snack time, and bedtime.
Daylight saving time reminds me of the story of the old man whose feet were cold at night, so he cut a foot off the top of his blanket and sewed it onto the bottom.
Yes please. End DST.
And this is why it's always five o'clock somewhere.
Does anyone have the time? ⌚🕰⏰⏱
Captain Cook was entrusted with the third Chronometer ever made on his first voyage of discovery. Explains the accuracy of his mapping.
A bouncer at a bar tried to tell me it was time to leave late one night. I said it was too early to close. We compared watches and I told him that his watch was off by a half hour and I wasn't leaving. Result: I got my clock cleaned!
Daylight Saving Time and Personal Income Tax, two TEMPORARY measures introduced during WW1 over 100 years ago, and still with us today.

As an aviator, Zulu time is necessary reference.
The History Guy could make knitting sound interesting!!!
About time you covered this topic!
It has occured to me, with the variety of topics that THG covers, he would make one hell of a contestant on JEOPARDY.
Time flies like an arrow.
After I am done watching UA-cam garbage everyday, I am sure to get some of "The History Guy" channel. Makes me feel WAY better.
Thank you! My mother was a telephone operator in Alaska 1967. She remarked how frustrating it was at the time because Alaska still observed several different time zones.
It's Daylight SAVING Time. It's not plural.
Another episode of History Guy that I'm glad I took "time" to watch.
