I can live with International Time as a name, but would far prefer
to have it be Terrestial Time, so it names the rock in question.
Or better yet, Earth Terrestial Time or Earth Normal Time or
Commercial Time, since TT already is an abbreviation for some other
timescale...
Um...TT is the abbreviation for "Terrestrial Time".
It isn't the rock that places requirements on civil timekeeping, it is
our internationally diverse civilization that derives requirements
from the rock. For instance, the Mars rover project derives
additional requirements from another rock.
