Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is a form of standardized world timing. With this system, you can figure out the time in any part of the world. To figure these times out, you will be doing a small bit of math. GMT always starts at 0. To find a time in another part of the world, you would add or subtract from 0... similar to an integer scale. Ex: ...-2:00, -1:00, GMT, +1:00, +2:00... So, let's say you started in England at 12:00pm and (for the same of keeping time the same) teleported to New York. Assuming you arrived in New York within that same minute, your new time would be at 7:00am. To be sure that you've got your time correct you start at 12:00pm, which is your GMT. To find out the time in New York, you would subtract five hours (-5:00). Ex: (GMT -5:00) = Your time.
