Re: [time-nuts] No Comment
Ehhh... It's all relative... ;) Besides, we all know it's not the size of the clock that matters... It's how accurate it is... :) I nominate TvB for master time keeper! On a more serious note, I don't think that the world's time scale will change anytime soon. Think of all the current clocks and every electronic device with a clock, it would be a nightmare to change / replace / modify. Not to mention all prior record keeping would have to either have some delineation for PMT (pre Muslim time) or all converted. If they want to have their own time in Saudi Arabia, more power to them. We already have a pretty messed up time system in the US with daylight savings... Some areas observe it, other's don't... Waaay back in high school, I remember how the clock system was never correct. I happened to be *barely* late one day (usually I'm always early)... I complained saying the school's time was incorrect and I was actually on time. Their response was that they do not follow standard time and that the school system has their own time... Sometimes you just can't reason with the unreasonable... ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.

How about StarTrek time! The time is StarDate . The next thing we know, every religion will want it's own time. I'd imagine that Scientology would currently be running in BS, Before Spaceship, as they are in countdown for the mother ship to come and collect them. :) Steve On 11 August 2010 14:28, Daniel Schultz wrote: > I suppose Islamic time would be similar to the Islamic or Jewish calendar, > used for timing religious observances, but Muslims living in western countries > would follow local time derived from GMT for civil and business purposes.

Yes, to save any politics, time should start at some neutral point chronologically, like my birthday. That way, people older than me would actually be younger than they were before this was set up by the number of years that they were originally older than me, IE. someone older than me by 10 years would now be younger than me by 10 years as the time before my birth is negative and is taken away from the time after my birth. As there are a lot of elderly people in the wolrld, they are all bound to vote for this system so it's very likely it would be passed into global law. As for the meridian, it would have to pass thought 27 St Martins Place, where I was born, of course, but this would not be of great difficulty for most as this longitude is very close to Greenwich so there would be very little change to be made there. To celebrate the new Dawn Of Time (tm), there would be a Global holiday and for the first time in my life, at least a few people would be thankful that I was born. Having such a Global holiday, would mean there would be no problems with international business on that day as there would be no business on that day. As I do not believe and any form of deity, there would be no objections from any church as the time would be completely religion agnostic. All in all, an excellent win-win exercise. Steve PS.

Re: [time-nuts] No Comment
I suppose Islamic time would be similar to the Islamic or Jewish calendar, used for timing religious observances, but Muslims living in western countries would follow local time derived from GMT for civil and business purposes. Just as Muslims and Jews use the Christian calendar for civil purposes. If they should succeed in converting the whole world to Islam, then maybe that could change but I'm not going to worry about that in my lifetime. What is the local time difference between Greenwich and Mecca anyway? I suppose it's not an integer number of hours.

Re: [time-nuts] No Comment
Haven't heard anybody mention Islamic DST yet. Back when I was designing control systems, we had a subsystem that displayed the trends of variables against time. DST was a pain, but most all of them changed by an hour on the hour. Islamic time could change in increments of 15 minutes, IIRC, and more often than twice a year. Good luck getting the scheduled world to adopt Meccan time, even if Mecca is declared to be the navel of the Arab world.
