Abolition of time zones

Arthur C. Clarke proposed the use of a single time zone in 1976.

Economics professor Steve Hanke and astrophysics professor Dick Henry at Johns Hopkins University have been proponents of the concept and have integrated it in their Hanke–Henry Permanent Calendar.

This includes military operations, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the International Space Station.
