Who started time zones?
Time zones were first proposed for the entire world by Canada's Sir Sandford Fleming in 1876 as an appendage to the single 24-hour clock he proposed for the entire world (located at the center of the Earth and not linked to any surface meridian). In 1879 he specified that his universal day would begin at the anti-meridian of Greenwich (now called 180°), while conceding that hourly time zones might have some limited local use. He continued to advocate his system at subsequent international conferences. In October 1884, the International Meridian Conference did not adopt his time zones because they were not within its purview. The conference did adopt a universal day of 24 hours beginning at Greenwich midnight, but specified that it "shall not interfere with the use of local or standard time where desirable".

Was Ian Fleming related to Alexander Fleming?
The short answer is "No" - Ian Fleming was not related to Alexander Fleming. There was, ironically, some contact between the two families when Peter Fleming (Ian's older brother) took up residence in the same apartment block which also housed Alexander Fleming, leading to great confusion on the part of the postal delivery authorities!! Peter and Ian Fleming were two of four brothers (their father was Val (Valentine) Fleming, who died as a result of wounds sustained in World War I). Their grandfather was Robert Fleming, who made the family fortune through the banking industry.
