The Earth time is several hours back

As usual, I visited the Earth before flying away during my second and the last visit of the old bubble this year (already transferred Beluga to Colonia. ).
Please, see the screenshot below - 13 IGT (GMT), but the day is in Japan
Maybe, the Earth should be rotated, according 2 the IGT time?

HE HE HE, people really like attention to detail... Who cares what content the game has, as long as the Earth is rotating the same as in reality... ;)

Is it "several hours back", or, is the Earth a THOUSAND years in the future, and maybe things have changed a bit?

We know the ED calendar has leap years offset by two years from the modern calendar, so the zero meridian might also have been moved at some point

In the late 20th/early 21st century leap seconds have been occasionally used to keep UTC in sync with the Earth's rotation. They're already a bit controversial, so it's possible that they were abandoned with the move to a multi-planet society, which would allow significant drift between UTC and the Earth's rotation to accumulate over a period of centuries. However, there were leap seconds in 3301 and 3302, so a move of the zero meridian seems more likely.

If visiting the place twice per year - attention to details is present indeed! :D
