simply explained:

Optimal Time is used to better adjust the time in the familiar 24-hour format, or even other formats, to the changing light and dark phases throughout the year. Optimal time allows the advantages of summer and winter time to be utilized. The known problems of the currently applied changeover method do not adhere to the optimal time and would be eliminated with your introduction. In contrast to the current time changeover method, with optimum time the time is moved forward or backward by one second every hour throughout the year from summer to winter time. Thus, a time change takes place that is not noticeable. Optimal time is a modern and flexible form of time change.


current discussion:

The topic of time change "Yes or No" is controversially discussed throughout the EU for many reasons. This also allows the question of whether there is not a solution to preserve the advantages of winter and summer time without carrying the known problems. Currently, the European Union is stuck in the discussion about the time change. It looks like there is no solution with which all parties will be satisfied. What is needed here is a solution that works at the EU level and is equally acceptable to all EU member states. The current discussion also shows that neither preservation nor abolition is an acceptable solution. Since the individual member states of the European Union have so far been unable to agree on whether summer or winter time should remain in place in the future, the EU is threatened with a time zone patchwork.

technical implementation:

The changeover at the optimum time takes place in each case from the shortest day of the year in winter, December 21, to the longest day of the year in summer, June 21. The time is automatically changed by one second every hour. From Dec. 21 to June 21, the time is thus set forward, and from June 21 to Dec. 21, the time is set back. With 182.5 days per cycle, this results in approximately 72 minutes of time change. The optimum time is displayed on clocks that are changed over by radio or via the Internet. Since these clocks receive the time signal automatically, the time change takes place unnoticed by humans. The time signal is transmitted via radio, satellite, Internet, TCP, radio signals, laser or light signals and the 4G or 5G mobile networks. Thus, the concept of optimal time is compatible with any radio or internet controlled clock. The classical manually switched clocks have to be manually adjusted to the optimal time. Since most clocks in the future will receive their time signal via radio or 5G, Optimal Time is a future-proof solution.
