This article dives deep into a topic I find very interesting, even if it’s not immediately useful.

If you don't have time to read, you may want to quickly check "Appendix A" for the “Smoitus” chart to see visually how the timezone alignment systems works, and "Section 5: Equation of Time (Smoital System)" to see how well this system tracks solar time.
