New Earth Time
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New Earth Time (or NET) is an alternative system for measuring the time of day, independently of local time. At any moment, there is a single NET time for the entire world.
A day is broken down into 360 NET degrees. Each degree has 60 NET minutes, and each NET minute has 60 NET seconds. Each NET day begins at midnight UTC at the Prime Meridian. One NET degree is therefore equivalent to four (normal) minutes, and one normal hour is equivalent to 15 NET degrees.
New Earth Time was invented on 15 September 1999. The rights to the concept are owned by degree NET Ltd.
Similar ideas for unifying time measurement across the globe include Swatch Internet Time, and simple use of UTC.
