UTC
Re: UTC
That definitely makes more sense than it's the denotation that all electronic systems use and isn't affected by seasonal changes etcSundayjumper wrote: ↑Tue Sep 29, 2020 9:25 amProbably racist or something. Zed will be along shortly to confirm.
An absolute unit
Re: UTC
I did a bit of reading as I was curious and apparently the difference is that GMT is a time zone and UTC is a time standard. Functionally they're the same and GMT is generally accepted as a synonym for UTC.
The more you know.

Re: UTC
I'd be happier if the UK stayed at GMT+1 - I don't like that foreign UTC muck...

Re: UTC
I did some as well and it just didn't make any proper sense. GMT is both a time zone and also immovable, so technically does the same job as UTC. I was going to blame the French at first as I assumed it was the usual when it comes to measurements of anything in that they'd want it to be non-English. But there's nothing in that. It just seems to be something that happened without any truly tangible reason.

Re: UTC
Can we blame the Americans who didn't want to refer to Green Witch Mean Time as that's some weird British thing, so let's call it UTC instead. Which GMT happens to coincide with.

Re: UTC
Thank you and everyone. It feels weird, I'm not freaking out yet... Perhaps I should be. The world and the automotive world is in a deeply weird place at the moment and I've got to find somewhere to fit in again.
