  • Right now, everyone does have their own time. In the current system, if someone in Boston, at 3pm, were to call up someone in Seattle and ask what time it is, the person in Seattle would say noon.

    OP is proposing a single time zone for the whole world. So when it’s 15:00 in Boston, it’s also 15:00 in Seattle and even 15:00 in Tokyo. It would make sense logically, but from a daily life perspective, it’d be pretty terrible - noon would no longer mean the sun is directly overhead, except for one small part of the world.
