Hey, unwelcome knew the pod cast, while the charts deficient said. Let me just start over a and welcome to the short stuff network thanks. You think that first part out nope. Ok, I'm Josh, there's chuck on the contrary and always say, nope and there's Jerry over their heads is kind of keeps quiet, because she knows how we like it and, like I said this, a short stuff: let's go a train, we're talking about time zones and them sort of weirdness time zones in this modern age. Is very weird and they're kind of new and it makes sense to their cotonou because before it was really difficult to move from place to place in any sort of quick me nourisher, so it didn't really matter what time it was in some town, a hundred miles away from you right, nobody, eared yeah. Like there was no way of knowing really

time. It was in by the time you walked over there to ask it was so much later, then it had when you left it really. The whole thing just didn't matter, but once we started to. Vent ways of locomotive more quickly with the the world got a lot smaller and that I really don't like that term. For some reason, I just feel like any to confess the world got smaller the world shrank. I don't know I really bothers me. Ok, look is learning TAT Arthur you're right, but you can make a flat circle smaller and by the way I am absolutely not elaborate. Coarseness what's funny is that you have to like specify that in this day and age, so as the world got smaller, then, suddenly, a dig kind of matter what time it was in the town, a hundred miles away, because you might a connecting train, you had to pick up there and you need to make sure that that train was cordon anyway,

train that you are getting thereon so that you could reach thereby some designated time and that did Noah always and at first no I mean it was a real problem. People were late for trains are missing their trains, there was, there are circumstances, were trains would be close to colliding, went to one another because of this jewels in the times yeah I mean the problem. If everyone is agreed on what time it is, and you have an inner connected train system dates, that can be extraordinarily problematic yeah I mean in this. This is happening in Europe. In the U S, it was a real mess, because we had local time zones and I don't mean regional I mean, like every city in the! U S, so we had three hundred times zones in the United States and then eventually, they said our it. We need. This is unwieldy. Let's whittled down to one hundred times zones

right. The reason why there were so many because, up to this point, everybody basically set there- there was further sun dial or what have you to noon when the sun directly overhead. Everybody knew was noon in your town. That is its noon somewhere else. It means its noon in your town, and so everybody, every town basically had

own times, all right, so when they will be down to a hundred. That was a vast improvement, but it still wasn't quite where they needed to be his. There were still a lot of problems with it and so scientists, his I say, was Fleming. He was scottish and his first name was Sir Sandford. While the sir was in his first name, there was an honour honour effect, but the Sandford was his first name. Yes, nurse Sandford, Sir Sandford and Sun Fleming right and he missed a train and eighteen. Seventy six, as the legend goes because of the timetable in the this screwy time. Something- and he said, I'm through got mad, and he said you know what I'm gonna do to divide the world and a twenty four times zones, which makes sense spaced it

one degree intervals all across the planet, shirt and everyone said grounds keeper, Willie, that's brilliant yeah. That was you just made short stuff special officially, because there was a rare chuck scottish accent. I know it's the rarest yet as the rarest. So that's pretty smart. Twenty four times zones makes a lot of sense. That's how it is to day. You would think that not the case. As a matter of fact, I believe, there's thirty nine times zones around the world is Eric yeah. That's what I saw thirty nine times zones, not twenty four in two to make the badness even more complete

how these time zones are offset not by a single hour like it should be some people off other times once by thirty minutes or forty five minutes, which is this like just drop out of the world. Basically, if you do that you now so it's it's it's what they call it. S word show these days, but even that was still an improvement from that hundred or three hundred something in the: U S, and in the United States we ve had four times zones, eastern Central, Mountain and Pacific, for I guess, since the nineteenth century actually is a matter of fact exactly in the nineteenth century. On November eighteen, eighteen, eighty three, those were officially instituted not by the country. Necessarily the country by the railroad company

who all agreed. Finally on a a uniform time where it was at any given point in the country the tried and they actually, when all the railroads Chuck set time on this one specific day they all chain to noon when it reached noon, stay your time in their their timezone at which meant that each of those places head at noon twice in one day. So it's very famously called the day of two noons amazing things are to you I'll. Take a break, stood ok, hey miles. It's me Jackie rain, here here right next year by next to me, just like a work hey

one join with you to tell people too. Tune in to a very special episode special year of tedious, That is, I guess this is actually look. I know you saw the social media Zaza, the Ellie Otto. She said what are these two juggernaut supplied casting doing there when Mazda cause me ever they say miles. We know that you're a loyal, Mazda owner we want to align with you because you get it yeah. You know what I am willing to answer the call and help Ding Ding help people understand the power of it. So what we did is we actually got to record of special episode inside the New Mazda six thirty. Where we talked about kind of like flow states and was feeling alive and how we feel alive. What makes us feel like it was really doped actually record inside the car. I got to press a lot of buttons and make them mad, because you like please don't fumble around in here

said out loud I like to explore. Nonetheless, if you actually want to check out the first ever see Ex thirty check it out at Maza, USA, dot com, slash Iheart or, if you're, trying to check it up. I already them pull up to the local dealership too, all right. So, Things are getting a little less unwieldy are more wheel. The more we have had a thing, that's wrong casting my lot can simply be Willie. I guess, if it can be unwieldy, surely can be wielding too

right, so things are getting better and then we went often invented planes and then planes could get places even quicker and that just compresses that you know travel time even more and then the internet is invented and all of a sudden, it's pretty much like everyone's running on a twenty four seven culture all over the world and some people in recent years have looked up and said: what are we have time zones anyway? Why can't we just all agree to set our clocks on the same time, take a little bit it getting used to, but you all be ok when she wrap your head around the fact that a number is just some random shape that you designate.

Where the sun is in the sky. Yet I mean that's absolutely true and it is arbitrary and totally artificial, but it's going to take a little while to not think like that. If we follow these guys advice, if you ask me yeah we're talking specifically about a man, name, hunker I'd, say: hanky, panky yeah, I say hunker dependent worries from. If you wanted to be wrong, you can say hunger, he's a Johns Hopkins University, professor of physics and there's another Ganem Richard Con Henry They would. They propose is just a universal time like I said where everyone in the world agrees on one thing: unless it is said, our clocks, the same which I am totally down, for it does make sense, hunker and he

I definitely have a really good idea here, which is we all set our clocks to you First time coordinated, you t see which used to be called Greenwich meantime, which basically says the primarily in that through Grannie jingling is zero hours is also called Zulu time because Z, four zero in air trucker. Her plain speak Zulu Disease Zulu. I think it is means said Zeb depending on how you talk too. That's why they all this college Zulu so because they couldn't agree on zero Rosetta right right, but this is already happening in you know like the military, he's been doing earth right? Financial traders do this because it is clearly the better way to go. It is It is because of its if it say, maids, nine, o clock and on the other. Meridian Nine O clock. I am then its. It would be nine o clock all over the world. The whole world is based on what

I'm. It is on the prime radiant, but here's the thing- and this is why it's hard to wrap your head around this kind of thing. That means then that, rather than a b nine, o clock eventually associated with the morning in your land wherever you are, nine a m might take on an entirely different meaning, come just a completely different meaning because That nine, a m might be at. What's two a m to you: now you just gotta get give up those things give it up right, we would have to be a totally decouple and it would be so difficult that I think Hawkeye Henry. I say that It would take about a generation here for us to get used to it, and basically there saying we have to do something. Elizabeth alive today have to die off, and then the younger generation have to be raised like this, for it not to be weird to eat breakfast at like one thousand one hundred and thirty p dot m, or something like that, depending on where you are

yeah- and I think I mean That'S- for a full- like hey it's a little weird for me- to completely go away. I think inside a few years, everyone would just be like our eye that you know whatever I used to call this ninety em. But now it's you know twelve p m right. And again I mean you know me I've gone off before about. I don't know. I think it's arbitrary, but just the symbolic nature of a number is this: you know something man is slapped on Sherwood or yet in time is an artificial human cost. For sure- and he like keeping time, is even more artificial but there's some like real upsides to this to this idea, it's all upside. So why we're getting used to it part would be really weird, although it could be like such a distraction for the entire world that we might just forget about all this. The bs quagmire, making a lot of us find ourselves in a just, be like this is cool. You know who knows, but the m some of the upsides are that

if you live on the western edge of a timezone sure you gotta keep up with the eastern edge in you typically suffer from sleep deprivation chronically as a result of living on the western edges. Timezone that would be gone. He I think it solely for business purposes and travel purposes. The benefits are just so outrage asleep, strong that it just doesn't make any sense to do anything otherwise. So can you explain something to me sure how do? How does it get rid of something like jet lag for still travelling to some other part of the world and sign is still operates not up in it should be for our our biological clocks. How does having the time be the same help that can regain it now. I think it does it all. Ok. Well, they make sense. You I mean. I think he would just you would still be going to bed super early. If you travel to allay from

he's coast, it would just whatever symbol on your watch would be different yeah, but just booking travel booking conference calls like anything yet I said it would be like well. This is ten o clock, your time and unemployment. I'm just is just ten o clock right is just ten o clock means different things to do people has exactly you'd have to. There would be no more shootouts at high noon or you we He told you in the morning we party till seven at night, Secondly, all around the world, where you are aware woods do, would totally takes him getting used to, but I don't think it's like why not explore this well, because it would will be a significant undertaking, but I really canning yeah. I guess it would be to get the who, World to throw away all this stuff in just start over, I'm, U T see, it would be if it takes them

We can't even agree on the metric system for peace. Things could point, but I agree with you. I think it's need an interesting and I think it could probably overtime be very beneficial or the rest of the world would do it in the United States. Wouldn't right, you re just kind of sort of what's going on Europe's on a twenty four hour clock right, yeah, I believe so- and I know the military in the United States is so it is kind of like metric like we do can is secretly do metric on the download here there mister. So the anything else out. Ok if you want to know more about this, go find out about it yourself pictures of stone. Stuckey should know, is production.
