Im just blown away by this. I remember asking a geographical scholar if there is any basis for the way the globe is depicted? He was able to say there is none other than the poles formed by the earths rotation. He said the only reason why England is top and centre in a map, and on top of the globe, was that British were the first colonials to be enshrined in history. It reminds me why we have in north America a country code of 1, because we in north america invented it. Given all that, and some other news of the world, there does seem to be a push to standardize our time due to business considerations. It seems that eastern time may in a way become the new Greenwich standard as the benchmark of time. Foreboding thought really.
