It’s not just time zones and leap seconds. SI seconds on Earth are slower because of relativity, so there are time standards for space stuff (TCB, TGC) that use faster SI seconds than UTC/Unix time. T2 - T1 = [God doesn’t know and the Devil isn’t telling.]

We use datediff in sql and let God handle the rest.
“Oh but they’re in different time zones” “Oh did you account for if one is in day light savings and other isn’t” “Aren’t some of these dates stored in UTV and some local?”
Are all problems I do not care about.

This is why we should just move to a universal time zone and stop with the day light savings.

We have that, it’s called the Unix epoch, and the only thing it doesn’t account for is time dilation due to relativity.

Swatch’s Internet Beats are making more and sense every time Daylight Savings forces a timezones change. Why are we still using base 12 for time anyway?
