My PC is in sync (within a second).
Posted by: NewEnglandBob | October 14, 2009 9:28 PM
I've got this thing called Windows which automatically takes care of that thanks.
Posted by: steve s | October 14, 2009 9:52 PM
Thanks for the heads up.

Socialized time and pinko software nailed it to the fraction of a second.

It doesn't tell us when Hammer Time or Peanut Butter Jelly Time or Owl Stretching Time or Howdy Doody Time or Planck time are .
Posted by: Katharine | October 14, 2009 10:44 PM
(I am aware that Planck time is a unit .)
Posted by: Katharine | October 14, 2009 10:47 PM
But doesn't time itself need a bit of space, some elbow room, in order to make time????
Oh,and was there time before the Big Bang?

Charles,
Phil Plait couldn't answer that last question either. None of us can. Yet. Anyone who says they can, is trying to sell something.

Hey! Don't mock the site, I've used it when I've had to if we are currently on standard time or daylight savings time so put the right embargo time on stuff.

Greg is not Phil Plait.
Thankfully.

What's wrong with Phil Plait?

"Time USA" will give you

Chicago 7:18pm CDT
Denver 6:18pm MDT
Phoenix 5:18pm MST
Los Angeles 5:18pm PDT
Anchorage 4:18pm AKDT
Honolulu 2:18pm HST
and "Time London" returns
1:17am Friday (BST) - Time in London, United Kingdom
London, Ontario 8:19pm -1 day EDT
London, Arkansas 7:19pm -1 day CDT
