The takeaway is that we, humans, tend to reference things in non-universal frames of reference. Be it "morning" for time or "office" for location. Timezones can be seen as an emergent property of long-distance communication. Whatever the algorithm you choose the underlying problem with "inertial" frames of reference remains.
