For much of history, local noon was determined by the sun's position, leading to different times in different towns. This wasn't an issue until the advent of railways, which required standardized time for scheduling. The Great Western Railway adopted London time in 1840, and by 1880, Greenwich Mean Time became the legal standard in Britain. In the U.S., railroads created their own time zones, leading to confusion until a coordinated system was adopted in 1883. An international conference in 1884 established Greenwich as the prime meridian for global timekeeping. Over time, countries adopted time zones based on political and practical considerations rather than strict longitude. Daylight saving time was introduced during World War I to conserve energy, but its effectiveness is debated today. The definition of a second shifted from astronomical observations to atomic measurements in 1967, leading to the introduction of leap seconds to align atomic time with Earth's rotation. The podcast explores how timekeeping evolved from solar observations to atomic precision.
