  Time zone - Wikipedia
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 zone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Time zones are areas of the Earth that have adopted the same standard time, usually referred to as the local time.
Time zones are generally centered on meridians of a longitude, that is a multiple of 15°, thus making neighboring time zones one hour apart.
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!).

 EST - Eastern Standard Time
Note that some places observe daylight saving time/summer time during summer, and are therefore using EST instead in the summer.
An email sent from someone in the EST time zone will have the time zone listed as "+1000" in the headers of the email.
Time zone maps are under development and will be available later

In most cases, the timing of events is only known to the nearest day, or even worst to the nearest month or year.
For example, a time length of 1.5 hours is depicted as 0:1:30, a time length of 60 hours is depicted as 2:12, and a time length of 23 seconds is depicted as 0:0:0:23.

 Greenwich Mean Time   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Theoretically, noon Greenwich Mean Time is the moment when the Sun crosses the Greenwich meridian (and reaches its highest point in the sky in Greenwich).
Because of the Earth's uneven speed in its elliptic orbit, this event may be up to 16 minutes off apparent solar time (this discrepancy is known as the equation of time); but this is averaged out over the year through the use of the mean sun.
Although not affecting the local time directly, most time zones were based upon this reference as a number of hours and half-hours "ahead of GMT" or "behind GMT".

A clockmaker or town clock would be the "official" time and the citizens would set their pocket watches and clocks to the time of the town - enterprising citizens would offer their services as mobile clock setters, carrying a watch with the accurate time to adjust the clocks in customer's homes on a weekly basis.
The standardization of time was essential to efficient operation of railroads.
Since time zones are based on segments of longitude and lines of longitude narrow at the poles, scientists working at the North and South Poles simply use UTC time.

 Finding Universal Time
One problem with all "human" timings is a small delay, the "personal equation" (PE), which is the human reaction time between the eye first noticing the event and the hand or voice responding appropriately.
Also, because the radio time second markers are completely predictable, it is possible for the operator to mentally "tune in" and hit the lap button at exactly the correct moment.
Other observers first start the stopwatch on a radio time signal, use the lap/split function a few times to check that it is running right ("synchronization"), and later use the lap (or stop) button to time the event.

The globe is divided into Standard time zones and Local Standard Time is the time specified for each zone.
Also known as summer time, Daylight Saving Time occurs when the time on local clocks is advanced forward by one hour at the beginning of the defined period of DST, and returned back by one hour at the end of DST.
Normally this is the same as Local Standard Time, but in periods of Daylight Saving an hour is added to the local clock, making Local Time an hour ahead of Local Standard Time (i.e.
