Is it time for the world to use a common time zone?

If the world uses the same time zone, countries will receive a lot of benefits, but in return there will be areas where there must be sunrise without sunshine.

The time zones are divided into geographical regions based on the calculation of the sun shining on the Earth's surface from West to East.

It is possible to use 24 meridian lines to divide the Earth's surface into 24 equal parts, making the hour difference between time zones 1 hour.

However, it is only in theory that the actual time zones are based on local agreements, which have an important element of national unity. So on the world map, many exceptions can be seen, and the difference in time between some regions does not follow meridians.

Some countries have compensated their time zones for about 30 minutes and even 45 minutes. India, Venezuela, Iran, Nepal and New Zealand are among such countries. Or as Russia has 11 different time zones across its vast territory.

Last year alone, five countries made time zone changes according to the benefits they were pursuing. Including North Korea when turning around half an hour to introduce its own time zone - Pyongyang Time.

There are actually 40 different time zones in the world.

For tourists, financial markets, governments or travel-related industries, operating around the world, sometimes such time zones make trouble sometimes confusing.

There is currently an international time zone removal campaign to become a single time zone based on the International Coordinated Time (UTC) standard.

Aiming to form a global time zone around the world will be an effective solution to overcome the fact that countries' days are not the same or that things of the week fall on different days of the year. For example, the US is on the 20th of August while in Asia it may have been on the 21st.

In 2004, Professor of Economics Steve Hanke and Professor Richard Henry, an astronomer from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, proposed reducing the number of days in a year to 364 and taking those days away. into a leap, and about 5 or 6 years will have an extra week in the following year.

In 2004, Professor Richard Henry proposed the current calendar reform for the first time to become more "periodic" . Accordingly a day of this year will fall on the same day, the same week of the following year.

He proposes a leverage that will be added around the time between June and July every 5 or 6 years.

Calendar system proposed by Steve Hanke and Richard Henry.

In 2011, Professor Steve Hanke revised by turning the week-end leap.

With such a change, we schedule holidays such as Christmas on Sundays to reduce the number of overtime holidays for businesses.

As suggested by two scientists, the whole world will use the Greenwich Mean Time observatory's common time zone, ie London time, England with a time zone of zero.

Turning such a whole life together as a single global time zone will also make a significant difference to the time spent working in many parts of the world.

For example, the working day in New York will no longer be from 9am to 5pm but will instead become 14h to 22pm.

On the west coast of America, a new day will start at 4 am while in Sydney, Australia, the new day will start at 1 pm.

In an interview with the Washington Post, Professor Hanke and Professor Henry claimed that the time zone was quickly becoming obsolete."Today, the Internet has erased the concept of time and space. Time zones can create confusion for tourists traveling across different countries in flight time identification," they said.

Professor Hanke and Professor Henry said that the time zone is completely built by humans, aiming to coincide with the daylight.

On their website, the scientists said that putting the world into a common time zone does not mean that people's working hours have to change.

Each area will still work in their "private time" according to the daylight time, only now remains the same.

The time zone is entirely human-built, aiming to coincide with the daylight time.

Areas affected by seasonal differences in the length of day and night can be adjusted forward or backward to an hour as usual.

Thus, in some areas, there will be no early morning dawn that may still be at night.

Hanke and Henry expect that this proposal will become reality on January 1, 2018.

These are not the first solutions in an effort to resolve conflicts in time zone differences between regions of the world that are thought to interfere with many economic and information exchange activities during the time. today's globalization.

However, this proposal still faces objectionable opinions because the benefits of benefits are not clear but there are many shortcomings that can be easily seen. It is a disturbance of day and night life and the ability to change on a world scale is extremely difficult.
