Field notes
The page separates “when” from “where,” classifying familiar readings such as 3:41 PM and 15:41 as location-dependent, while UTC and Unix time are described as universal but less readable. It anchors the proposed display to midnight at Greenwich and explains that atomic clocks would continue keeping the underlying seconds. The page also gives everyday comparisons for its units, from a deep-work block to a microwave timer.
