Bruce- I must hasten to correct what I just posted...when I said position, I was speaking and thinking unclearly. Obviously it is not the longitude from Greenwich that is known from having GMT, but the position of Greenwich, in terms relative to the position of the rest of the univese, i.e. "in time". (Conceptual problems, indeed. Verbal ones too.)
