i should ask Maciej, he or she seems to be an expert on moon time.

Indeed, a good experiment, but hardly news.
There is already an atomic clock (two even)
on the GAIA sat, well beyond the moon at L2,
which behaves as expected.

The most pressing problem with it:
what are they going to call the lunar equivalent of the geoid?
The 'loonoid', perhaps?

A more pressing problem is: which timezone(s) will be used?
With a ~ 700-hour "day" it's not clear what to do....

That has been solved for the time being: no time zones. [1]

No leap seconds either, all clocks in space refer to TAI,
or to coordinate times that are linked directly to TAI.
(like TCB or TCG for example)

[1] IIRC Heinlein's Loonies have no time zones either.

neither here. That's not what we call "a slow moving clock". Your task is
impossible. It's illusory. Better read these papers, they say Aether is
real, new science has to go.

good re_posting the links to the papers. You guys are either mental
retarded, or simply idiots.

been in Marseilles, it's full of shit. A "taxi" raped me for €150, the
arab didnt know geography, and was staying in a hotel near ST
Microtechnology. Still shit, but manageable. One evening ordered 5 times
different things, crabs and molluscs no idea, then still went hungry in
bed.

Timezones have nothig to do with time.

Timezones are used to make the numerical value of the time of the
sunrise at least somehow equal for all places on the Earth' surface.

As Moon is not located on Earth' surface, the man in the Moon has other
worries than our time zones.

Because the 'day' is quite long on the moon, the 'hours' could be as well.

Or they use more 'hours' there, if they want to.

But that isn't related to the nature of time, because the sunrise istn't
time neither.

The sun clock sits on the earth not on the sun. They are called
