Can anyone tell me what time 4:00AM PST would be at GMT -5
Oh and to give this a topic, what do you feel of timezones? I find it annoying how there isn't 1 universal timezone everyone has to learn so you can read announcements properly :(

EST = GMT-5
PST = GMT-8
GMT, EST, PST are all names for time zones in the UTC system.
GMT is planetwide.. centered in the middle of the map, which is green-something.. a town in england..
whatever the UTC system is.. i dont know.. but GMT is the standard.. whatever you americans cook up doesnt count for the rest of us
Greenwich, which is where the prime meridian is.Quote:

Your in UTC+1, which has several different names depending on where you live.
In total there are 24 main time zones, with some countries in their own time zones.
UTC was created by several nations, and the center is actually in France.
Before today i have never heard of UTC, while i have been taught about GMT.. even on the map there is GMTQuote:

Quote:
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is a term originally referring to mean solar time at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich in London. It is now often used to refer to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) when this is viewed as a time zone, although strictly UTC is an atomic time scale which only approximates GMT in the old sense
