The most common use of the acronym is in industrial production, where it means "million metric tons" (1 x 106 tonnes), where one metric ton, or tonne, equals 1000 kg.

The acronym is also used in other ways, including

  • Multiple Mirror Telescope (Fred Whipple Observatory, or MMTO)
  • Mission Management Team - (NASA term for ISS hierarchy)
  • Montmorillionite - (claylike form of smectite) aka hydrated sodium calcium aluminum magnesium silicate hydroxide
  • Methylcyclopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl (controversial gasoline additive)
  • Methadone Maintenance Treatment
  • Multi-Mode Transmission

Why is the Afghanistan time zone 30 minutes instead of an hour?

I can't verify this for Afghanistan specifically, but many countries and localities that get to choose what their local time is have often compromised on the time due to the shape and size of the location (in this case, Afghanistan). Since the country has an elongated shape and is adjacent to several other countries that have various other time zones it is possible that the time Afghanistan chose was a compromise between two times in order to keep the entire nation on the same time. The other options have proven to be politically messy, caused some problems in business transactions and caused confusion for the citizenry. So a compromise between say, GMT+4 or GMT+5 Afghanistan is in the middle or GMT+4.5.

The time zone also covered the western halves of their neighbouring administrative divisions. The time in this time zone was based on that on the longitude 90°E.The Kansu-Szechuan Time Zone covered the mid-western part of China, based on the longitude 105°E.The Chungyuan Standard Time Zone, or Central Standard Time Zone, covered the densely populated area of the ROC, including the then capital Nanking. The time in this time zone was based on the longitude 120°E.The Changpai Time Zone covered Northeast China. Named after the Changpai mountain range on the border between China and Korea, it was based on that on the longitude 127°30′E.
