In the age of space travel and colonialization, how will we solve the problem of standardizing time and date?

>>	Anonymous Sat Dec 17 22:49:26 2016 No.8546852 >>8546561 You're experiencing time dilation right now. Earth is moving very fast through space, along with the rest of the milky way, as well as our orbit around the Milky Way center Earth can get up to some pretty crazy speeds.
