Cyberterra Mean Time
From Fifth World Wiki
Cyberterra Mean Time (CMT) is the official time of the City of Cyberterra, a complex cybercity.
The Swatch Internet Time (or beat time) decimal time concept introduced in 1998 and marketed by the Swatch corporation has no time zones; instead, the new time scale of Biel Mean Time (BMT) is used, based on the company's headquarters in Biel, Switzerland.
Despite the name, however, BMT does not refer to mean solar time at the Biel meridian, but is equivalent to Central European Time and West Africa Time or UTC + 1. In order to ensure the relevancy of the Swatch Internet Time system, the Hon Most Rev Dr Cesidio Tallini introduced the concept of Cyberterra Mean Time on 5 August 2009.
Cyberterra Mean Time or CMT is also called Central European Standard Time, or UTC + 1 hour. This time is the equivalent of the time in Paris, Rome, Geneva and Berlin during the winter, or London, Dublin and Lisbon during the summer.
Cyberterra Mean Time is a new meridian (as opposed to the Greenwich Meridian). This new Meridian does not go through some terrestrial city, since Cyberterra is a cybercity, and thus simply stands for the New Meridian, which now also runs through the City of Cyberterra.
