What time is it?
Why is that the correct time?
How does one know what the correct time is?
Is the "proper and correct" time reference codified as statue?
(thinking of
the US) Where?
15 USC Sec. 261: "For the purpose of establishing the standard time of
the United States, the territory of the United States shall be divided
into nine zones in the manner provided in this section. Except as
provided in section 260a(a) of this title, the standard time of the
first zone shall be Coordinated Universal Time retarded by 4
hours;...the term "Coordinated Universal Time" means the time scale
maintained through the General Conference of Weights and Measures and
interpreted or modified for the United States by the Secretary of
Commerce in coordination with the Secretary of the Navy."
Prior to 1997, it was "based on the mean solar time of ... Greenwich,"
so older references may have it incorrect.
