According to the correlation between the Long Count and Western calendars accepted by the great majority of Maya researchers ( known as the Goodman-Martinez-Thompson, or GMT, correlation ), this starting-point is equivalent to August 11, 3114 BCE in the proleptic Gregorian calendar or 6 September in the Julian calendar (− 3113 astronomical ).

This date is equivalent to 11 August 3114 BC in the proleptic Gregorian calendar ( or 6 September in the proleptic Julian calendar ), using the correlation known as the " Goodman-Martínez-Thompson ( GMT ) correlation ".

The most commonly accepted correlation is the " Goodman, Martinez, Thompson " correlation ( GMT correlation ).

The GMT correlation establishes that the 0. 0. 0. 0. 0 creation date occurred on 3114 BCE September 6 ( Julian ) or 3114 BCE August 11 ( Gregorian ), Julian day number ( JDN ) 584283.

However, there have been other correlations that have been proposed at various times, most of which are merely of historical interest, except that by Floyd Lounsbury, two days after the GMT correlation, which is in use by some Maya scholars, such as Linda Schele.

Astronomers preferred the latter GMT convention in order to simplify their observational data so that each entire night was logged under a single calendar date.

As the United Kingdom grew into an advanced maritime nation, British mariners kept at least one chronometer on GMT in order to calculate their longitude from the Greenwich meridian, which was by convention considered to have longitude zero degrees ( this convention was internationally adopted in the International Meridian Conference of 1884 ).

Note that the synchronization of the chronometer on GMT did not affect shipboard time itself, which was still solar time.

This changed in 1880, when GMT was legally adopted throughout the island of Great Britain.

GMT was adopted on the Isle of Man in 1883, Jersey in 1898 and Guernsey in 1913.

Greenwich Mean Time ( GMT ) was originally mean time deduced from meridian observations made at the Royal Greenwich Observatory ( RGO ).

GMT either by that name or as ' mean time at Greenwich ' used to be an international time standard, but is no longer so ; it was initially renamed in 1928 as Universal Time ( UT ) ( partly as a result of ambiguities arising from the changed practice of starting the astronomical day at midnight instead of at noon, adopted as from 1 January 1925 ).

In 1928 the term Universal Time was adopted internationally as a more precise term than Greenwich Mean Time, because GMT could refer to either an astronomical day starting at noon or a civil day starting at midnight.

Greenwich Mean Time ( GMT ) was at one time based on the time observations made at Greenwich ( until 1954 ).

Thereafter, GMT was calculated from observations made at other observatories which were still active.

To help others synchronise their clocks to GMT, a time ball was installed by Astronomer Royal John Pond in 1833.

A board wargame called Wellington – The Peninsular War 1812 – 1814 was produced by GMT Games in 2005.

The ceremony was invented by two undergraduates in 1971, partly as a spoof on other Oxford ceremonies, and partly to celebrate the end of the experimental period of British Standard Time from 1968 to 1971 when the UK stayed one hour ahead of GMT all year round.

Eastern longitudes can be determined by adding the local time to GMT, with similar calculations.
