A few weeks ago, I watched "Jetsons: The Movie" and the movie has to do with the family moving to some complex in outer space that has condos, a mall and of course, the factory that George worked at. What got me was the fact that they still had a timezone. They talked about opening the plant at certain time, same with when the mall opened. How would someone know what time it was in outer space? For starters, you get dark sky out there no matter what and I am sure that on other planets, time works with the rotation like Earth has. When I watched "Men In Black," I remember this scene when J asked Zed if anyone got sleep and Zed told him that they live on Centurian time and the days are 37 hours long.
Also, how did time work in any of the Star Trek shows? I know that at the beginning of episodes, whether it's of the original series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine or even Voyager, it always talked about "star dates" in the captain's log. But did anybody ever know which day it was or time it was?
I know that "The Jetsons" was only a cartoon and I should not look at too deeply, but now that I am older, I even wondered how there was time in outer space.
