Due to perturbations in the atomic field of the atmosphere or whatever geeks call it, phones do not agree. There is no time consensus. A phone can be up to :40 off by my count and that is the most primate homosuckian bullshit I can even think of. If we do not have some global agreement on time, or at least hemispheric (do not waste our time with your farmer hour poo poo pls) then we cannot call ourselves a civilized world.

Consider:

The ancients ate goats and sometimes other things in a pinch.
-the humanoi appendick is proof that we ate things that were bad.

Wheels were around before humanoi..

Sometimes things get stuck in my teeth but I'm in a social situation so I type to alleviate the nervous energy.

Don’t satellites experience time different than someone at sea level?

Pretty sure Jean Claude Van Dam proved that in Timecop

If this is true then we must ask ourselves how much time we allow satellites to experience, lest they outpace us.

I believe this is referred to as the "Mobian Constant". While people in various time zones bicker over this many or that many seconds, there is another layer of zones in space where our very time itself is being divvied up by some kind of Overtime.

There's a monkey in each satellite that is trained to count at regular intervals to solve this issue.

Before you ask, they are all trained in a big facility together so they are synced.

Mmmm,
You smell like Lysol Wipes.
Rotational frame-dragging (the Lense–Thirring effect) appears in the general principle of relativity and similar theories in the vicinity of rotating massive objects. Under the Lense–Thirring effect, the frame of reference in which a clock ticks the fastest is one which is revolving around the object as viewed by a distant observer. This also means that light traveling in the direction of rotation of the object will move past the massive object faster than light moving against the rotation, as seen by a distant observer. It is now the best known frame-dragging effect, partly thanks to the Gravity Probe B experiment. Qualitatively, frame-dragging can be viewed as the gravitational analog of electromagnetic induction.

a broken clock is right once a day if we subscribe to the military time ergo the only way to have a fully accurate watch (to the minute, at least) is to compose a clock made up of 1440 individual broken clocks each stopped at a different hour and minute
