@thebiochemic I always wonder about that when watching stuff like Star Trek. I think a universal time system would be the answer but it’s a tricky beast. Based on what reference? Probably something like the galactic rotation cycle.

@stackodev yeah me too, not sure if it's even possible/viable, considering how much shit you have to consider.

@thebiochemic Someone will figure out a mathematical equation leading to a single-reference time index constant for all the planets and stars. It may even be possible now on a theoretical basis. I’m not enough of a mathematician or astrophysicist to have a clue.

@stackodev that'd be frikkin cool
Definitely Jon Skeet. Not only is he #1 on stackoverflow. He is actively tackling the hardest problem of them all: Time zone.
Closely followed by Joel Spolsky. The founder of stack overflow. Feels like all his products (fogcreek, trello) revolutionizes developer productivity and addresses actual pain points
