    All in the same time? But… Then the sun might go down at noon. That doesn’t make sense…

    Wait… Noon? Noooon…

    The word noon comes from a Latin root, nona hora, or “ninth hour.” In medieval times, noon fell at three PM, nine hours after a monk’s traditional rising hour of six o’clock in the morning. Over time, as noon came to be synonymous in English with midday, its timing changed to twelve PM.

    Oh now that’s worse

      We must establish a new order of monks, who all get up at 6am UTC. We can call them in sync

      Just let go of all meaning. 2 PM can be in the middle of the night if you just let go.

      It just means the monks have to get up at 3am.
