I was wondering if it was possible for the entire planet to observe the same day of the week simultaneously at any point of time during a day. I did some google searches and found out that the UTC offsets range over a 26 hour time period. If the time taken by earth to complete one rotation is 24 hours, why do we need to have 26 hour range instead of 24? I also saw that the GMT has 24 hour range of offsets. I am pretty confused by all of this.

I would seriously appreciate everyone adopting UTC. No daylight savings, no time zones. It’s 5pm everywhere at the same time, even if it’s actually morning for you.
Anyway to answer your question the numbers are all made up. Some islands decided to jump forward/back a day for convenience.
