  UTC | Koordinaten / Informationen / Encyclopedia of terms - UTC
Originally, the local time at the Royal Greenwich Observatory in Greenwich, England was chosen as standard at the 1884 International Meridian Conference, leading to the widespread use of Greenwich Mean Time in order to set local clocks.
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.
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.

  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.

 Welcome to SST
As civilisations progressed, more and more precise time measuring systems were developed in various cultures to mark the increasingly complex events in their daily lives, as well as to explain the relationship between man and the universe in a spiritual way.
The unit of Atomic Time is the atomic second and was defined by the following description in October 1967: the second is the duration of 9192631770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between two hyperfine levels of the ground state of casium-133 atom without the influence from magnetic field.
UTC is identical with TAI except that from time to time a leap second is added to ensure that the Sun crosses the Greenwich meridian at noon UTC to within 0.9 second when averaged over a year.

The UTC time zone is sometimes denoted by the letter Z since the equivalent nautical time zone (GMT) has been denoted by Z since about 1950, and by a "zone description" of zero hours since 1920.

 Time zone
Time zones are areas of the Earth that have adopted the same standard time.
Time zones are generally centered on meridianss of a longitude that is a multiple of 15º thus making neighbouring time zones one hour apart.
Standard zone time was not made legal in the United States until 1918.

Originally, time zones were aligned such that the Prime Meridian (longitude 0°) was the centre of its own time zone, with the mean solar time on that meridian (Greenwich Mean Time or GMT) defining its local time.
A notable exception was Detroit, Michigan, which kept local time until 1900, then vacillated between Central Standard Time, local mean time, and Eastern Standard Time until it settled on EST by ordinance May 1915, ratified by popular vote August 1916.
Nepal's time zone of UTC + 5:45 was adopted in 1986 [4].

One such standard is that of the UNIX operating system, in which time is kept as the total number of seconds that have elapsed since the beginning of January 1, 1970.
This is a program for the DS5000 microcontroller which reads the time and correction coefficients from a DS1994, computes the correction, and displays the corrected time, date, day of the week, and daylight/standard time indicator on an attached LCD display.
The program displays the uncorrected date and time, the corrected date and time, the difference in seconds between the corrected and uncorrected times, the values of the correction coefficients A and B, the current DOS time, and the difference in seconds between the corrected time and the current DOS time.

 Time zone
Time zones are generally centered on meridians of a longitude that is a multiple of 15° thus making neighbouring time zones one hour apart.
The first time zone in the world was established by British railroads December 1, 1847—Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) being hand carried on chronometers.
Time zones were first proposed for the entire world by 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!).

Coordinated Universal Time or UTC, also sometimes referred to as "Zulu time", is an atomic realization of Universal Time or Greenwich mean time, the astronomical basis for civil time.
Time zones around the world are expressed as positive and negative offsets from UT. UTC differs by an integral number of seconds from atomic time and a fractional number of seconds from UT1.
For this reason, UT lags behind atomic time measured by atomic clocks.

 International standard date and time notation
A single leap second 23:59:60 is inserted into the UTC time scale every few years as announced by the International Earth Rotation Service in Paris, to keep UTC from wandering away more than 0.9 s from the less constant astronomical time scale UT1, which is defined by the actual rotation of the earth.
In case an unambiguous representation of time is required, 00:00 is usually the preferred notation for midnight and not 24:00.
Please consider the 12h time to be a relic from the dark ages when Roman numerals were used, the number zero had not yet been invented and analog clocks were the only known form of displaying a time.

To date, the time on 24 has been given almost exclusively in Pacific Standard Time, with two exceptions - Season 1 and Season 2 opened their season premieres with brief scenes set in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Seoul, South Korea respectively, both using local time in place of Pacific Standard Time.
