	15 USC Sec. 260 as Amended (01/24/94)
		It is the policy of the United States to promote the adoption and observance of uniform time within the standard time zones prescribed by sections 261 to 264 of this title, as modified by section 265 of this title.
		For the purpose of establishing the standard time of the United States, the territory of the United States shall be divided into eight zones in the manner provided in this section.
		Within the respective zones created under the authority of sections 261 to 264 of this title the standard time of the zone shall insofar as practicable (as determined by the Secretary of Transportation) govern the movement of all common carriers engaged in interstate or foreign commerce.

	International time zones - history
		Standard Time uses Greenwich, a borough of London, England as the zero degree meridian, or "Prime Meridian', and divides the world into 24 zones, from pole to pole.
		Time is uniform throughout each zone, and differs from the international basis of legal and scientific time, called "Coordinated Universal Time" (UTC), by a set number of hours.
		In a few regions, however, the legal time kept is not the same as one of the 24 standard time zones because half-hour or quarter-hour differences are in effect there.

	Standard Time around the World
		Standard time was fixed in 1883 to prevent the myriad of short time differences that would result if every locality determined the mean solar time by different meridians, depending on the longitude of the particular place.
		Alaska Standard Time is determined by the meridian at 135° west of Greenwich and Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time is set at the 150° meridian.
		Atlantic Standard Time is based on 60° west of Greenwich and is one hour ahead of Eastern Standard Timel Newfoundland Standard Time, based on 52° 30' west, is 30 minutes ahead of Atlantic Standard Time.

	Time zone Summary
		Standard meridians occur every 15° of longitudinal displacement from the prime meridian (e.g., 15° W, 30° W, 45° W, etc.) The standard meridians also establish the local noon for the time zone and, therefore, each time zone is defined as being 7.5° longitudinal displacement both west and east of the standard meridian.
		Because a time zone ranges 7.5° east and west of a standard meridian, the applicable standard meridian for Rome is the 15° E standard meridian.
		Time zones were first proposed for the entire world by Canada's Sir Sandford Fleming in 1876 as an appendage to the single 24-hour clock he proposed for the entire world (located at the center of the Earth and not linked to any surface meridian!).

	The Creation of Standard Time
		The times of astronomical and weather phenomena and events that are observed internationally (by treaty, for example) are often given in "Universal Time" (abbreviated (UTC) or "Greenwich Mean Time" (abbreviated GMT).
		The two terms are often used synonymously to refer, loosely, to time kept on the Greenwich meridian (longitude zero), five hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time.
		The UTC time scale is kept by a large number of highly precise atomic clocks at facilities around the world, including the U.S. Naval Observatory, and there is international coordination in maintaining UTC to better than a nanosecond (billionth of a second) per day.

		The Greenwich time standard was established in the 1840s and old habits die hard, so many people still refer to UTC as GMT.
		Most time synchronization needs are met by the UTC time scale broadcast by NIST radio stations WWV and WWVH.
		The zones referenced mean solar time to the 24 standard meridians, based 15 degrees east and west of Greenwich, the point from which reckoning for each day should begin.

	Time zone
		Time zones are areas of the Earth that follow the same definition of time.
		Time zones partially rectified the problem by setting the clocks of a region to the same mean solar time.
		Time zones are generally centered on meridians of a longitude that is a multiple of 15º ; however as the map below shows, the shapes of time zones can be quite irregular because of boundaries of countries.

	Coordinated Universal Time - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Time zones around the world are expressed as positive and negative offsets from UT. UTC differs by an integral number of seconds from International Atomic Time (TAI), as measured by atomic clocks and a fractional number of seconds from UT.
		UTC is a hybrid time scale: the rate of UTC is based on atomic frequency standards but the epoch of UTC is synchronized to remain close to astronomical UT.
		International standard UTC time can only be determined to the highest precision after the fact, as atomic time is determined by the reconciliation of the observed differences between an ensemble of atomic clocks maintained by a number of national time bureaus.

	Time for the astronomer

		This was important as they could compare the time of noon at their current location with the time of noon at this fixed geographical point, thus giving them their longitude.
		Without getting into the differences between Universal Time which would be insignificant to the amateur, UTC means that this is the position of a given celestial object as it is passing over the meridian of Greenwich.

	Java Time Zones
		The easiest way to deal with dates and times, also known as a timestamp, in a program is to pass the timestamp around everywhere as the number of seconds (or in the case of Java, milliseconds) since "the epoch" or baseline, which is commonly defined as "January 1, 1970 00:00:00 GMT".
		It doesn't matter what time zone you're living in, the number of seconds since the baseline will always be the same.
		That's all you have to do in Java to display the current time as if the code was actually being run by a machine located in New York.
