Greenwich Mean time
Actually, Universal Coordinated Time. We no longer tell time by the
stars at Greenwich Observatory.
And if the U.S. gets it way, we will no longer tell time by the sun,
either. The plan is to abolish Leap Seconds, and instead have a Leap
Hour every 500 years or so. Evidently this is easier on the computer
programmers.
