Αλλάζει ο τρόπος με τον οποίο μετράμε τον χρόνο ....

Για τους επιστήμονες έχει αρχίσει ήδη να μετράει αντίστροφα η ίδια η μέθοδος που μετράμε τον χρόνο. Πολλοί πια ζητούν επιτακτικά αλλαγές, οι οποίες, μεταξύ άλλων, θα σταματήσουν τα περιοδικά προβλήματα στο σύστημα GPS και στα ρολόγια των χρηματιστηριακών αγορών. Όμως κάτι τέτοιο θα σημάνει οριστικά το τέλος της ώρας Γκρίνουιτς, όπως την ξέρουμε τόσα χρόνια.Για πολλά χρόνια οι άνθρωποι είχαν συμφωνήσει να μετράνε τον χρόνο με σημείο αναφοράς την ώρα Γκρίνουιτς ή GMT (Greenwich Mean Time), δηλαδή την «ώρα μηδέν» του πρώτου μεσημβρινού της Γης, η νοητή γραμμή του οποίου περνάει από το αστεροσκοπείο του Γκρίνουιτς, στα περίχωρα της βρετανικής πρωτεύουσας. Η ώρα έγινε το παγκόσμιο «στάνταρντ» μετά από διεθνή συμφωνία στην Ουάσιγκτον το 1884, παρά τις τότε αντιρρήσεις της Γαλλίας, που έκανε προπαγάνδα υπέρ του «δικού της» χρόνου, με τον μεσημβρινό «μηδέν» να περνάει από -πού αλλού;- το Παρίσι.
