The radical plan to destroy time zones

4/23/2016

This article discusses a proposal to do away with the concept of time zones and instead adopt a single universal time for the entire world. The article explains that this idea stems from the challenges posed by global communication and transportation. In a world where people are constantly connected and traveling across time zones, the author argues that a universal time would eliminate confusion and streamline international cooperation. However, the article also highlights the potential drawbacks of such a system, including the resistance to change and the disruption it could cause to established routines and traditions. Ultimately, the article presents a thought-provoking argument for rethinking the way we perceive and manage time on a global scale.
