Time Zone Oddities

Published: July 15, 2020, 5 p.m.

Before we created time zones, every village, town, and city had their own local time. You’d set the town’s clock according to when the sun was at its highest point each day, and everything was fine.


Eventually, life got faster. Trains began moving between towns and small differences in time began to cause problems.

This eventually led to the creation of time zones, so we could get everyone in the world on the same page as far as what time it is.

Of course, we can’t have nice things, and a simple thing like time zones became really complicated.
