    With a system like .beat (or internet time as it was also called), there are no timezones and there is no daylight savings time.

    If we would use a system like that, I’m pretty sure stores in Barcelona would open at a different time than stores in Amsterdam, because the sunrise at different moments. Now we have the same timezone, because it works wel for trade, not because its the best local time.

    Using the exact same time globally could fix that. We use the same time for meetings with people abroad but choose the time that fits when the sun rises
