"Think of it: what we call “noon” today rarely coincides with the astronomical solar noon (when the sun is at its zenith). Not only do most of us not live precisely in the right place on the time zone, but also only four days a year do solar days last exactly 24 hours. Most of the people do not really care about these inconsistencies because they do not really matter for our functioning."
