Jim was being funny there, it doesn't mean greenwich village.

Do a google search on it and you will now all about it IE. It is an imaginarey line that goes north to south and runs through Greenwich. This line denotes zulu time or zero time, the place that time zones start at zero and go both directions + and -. Meaning I am in mountain standard time and central standard time is +1 hour ahead of me, and pacific standard time is -1 hour behind me. Well mountain standard time is -7 (7 hours behind) greenwich mean time.

There's a Greenwhich Connecticut on the East Coast, and a Newark California in the West Coast. The time difference is three hours.
But seriously Little Buddy what we are talking about here is the time zones. At zero point, if you stand on one side it's today and one step the other way would place you into yesterday or tomorrow.

Here are some sites to clear up this timeless time of all times:

GMT: Greenwich Mean Time - World Time / Time in every Time Zone

Greenwich Mean Time - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think you should get it by now. If not then, you know that you don't have to be mean at any time. In the mean time, study your geography depending on where in the world you are at that time.

Got It?

So it's sort of like a secondary prime meridian in a different location,
Right?

Hey Der, someone's been doing his home work.

[Der Trommler]

Well same idea different instrument of measure. The Prime Meridian is the 0 point for longitude, and the Greenwich Mean is the 0 point for time.

...and you thought all you would learn here was drumming!

Hey Der, you think Infero knows the difference between Magnetic North and True North yet? If I had the time, in the mean time, I'll just let it go at that.

Does anybody have the real time? I mean really. My compass isn't working right. It's been too close to my speaker magnet.

Oh, that's another theorem. Maybe a moderator can moderate this useless information for me. I think I've been repairing too many television sets in the past. You know that soft x-radiation being too close to my brain.

In the mean time I'll see you guy in real time if I ever find out the time if I have the time.
Beu-whip, shshshshsshhsshhsh.

A few things. . .
No , I don't live in the US or New Zealand, I live in Australia - and I set the time on the site so that it matched up with the time from my watch, which was GMT +9.
Maybe there should be a server time so that we all know what we're talking about, and what times people mean.

[Der Trommler]

Had to re read your post Drum Key. Now I see that that is when you are normally on, not your offset from the server time.

[Infero Exicution]

Sooo....
GMT=GMT 0
My time= GMT time change -4
GMT difference= distance from GMT ties into GMT time in current placement,
Prime Meridian= Time Zones in world(Dividing "line" between time Zones)
Right?

[Der Trommler]

The Prime Meridian and the Greenwich Mean are the same vertical line but the term Prime Meridian reffers to the starting point for longitude measured up to 180 degrees east and west, and the Greenwich Mean reffers to the starting point for a solar day (time) measuring time up to 12 hours both east and west.
