Coordinated Universal Time
basically each place has a UTC plus or minus some number
that way people world wide can coordinate even if they live in different time zones
1630 utc -> 4:30 PM
if you live is UTC -2 then you rest 2 hours 2:30 PM at that's when the event will happen.
if you live UTC + 4 you add 4, so 8:30 PM
you can check which time zone you use locally easilly
The French would be TUC or TCU
In English, it would be UCT
So they chose UTC to be wrong in both languages, so that it wouldn't be biased to one language
The English and the French didn’t want to favor CUT or TUC, so they settled on UTC.
Coordinated Universal Time = CUT
Temps Universel Coordonné = TUC
UTC, the letters, does not stand for anything, it’s just neutral.
