!!! Overview[1] [{$pagename}] ([UTC]) is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time. [UTC] as defined in [RFC 3339] is: [{$pagename}] as maintained by the [Bureau International des Poids et Mesures] ([BIPM]). [{$pagename}] is within about 1 second of mean solar time at 0° longitude and does not observe daylight saving time. [{$pagename}] is one of several closely related successors to [Greenwich Mean Time] ([GMT]). For most purposes, [{$pagename}] is considered interchangeable with [Greenwich Mean Time], but [Greenwich Mean Time] is no longer precisely defined by the scientific community. !!
