Not a bad idea at all. I'm sure we can tackle that. I actually played around with another concept as well which is using the Sun's location as our reference instead of UTC. This then gives our solar system a unified time, not only Earth. It's an incomplete concept still. I have it here in this blog post https://medium.com/adventures-in-consumer-technology/introdu... Would love to hear what you think.

Thanks for the link, I just read it. Like hTime, there are some potential psychological show-stoppers but I feel like there’s a solid focus on using the very things that time were supposed to be based on.

Yes, it still needs more cooking, I'd love to hear more thoughts on that. We might need such a concept for a multi-planetary clock.
