why do we have different time zones instead of everyone being at the same current time and simply doing things at different hours of the day?

Wouldn’t this prevent things like a country above another country (aka being in the same latitude) and having a different time zone (which never made sense to me); and other things that just don’t make sense in the current system?

This is a thing but it’s use is limited to things like military applications where coordinated operations regularly take place over multiple time zones.

Names for it include Zulu time, Z-Time, Coordinated Universal Time and Universal Time Coordinated (UTC).

In the NATO phonetic alphabet “Z” is named “Zulu”, so to actually say “Z”Time over a radio you’d say “Zulu” Time, hence how it got its name. Why they picked Z ¯_(ツ)_/¯
