GMT stands for Greenwich Mean Time, which is the world-wide standard for measuring time. I live in Mountain Standard Time and I believe it is GMT-7, so California would GMT-8. If this is correct, and if California is not on Daylight Savings Time, then 2:53 PM in California would be 10:53 PM GMT.

GMT -
Greenwich Mean Time
Greenwich is a city in England.
History
As the United Kingdom grew into an advanced maritime nation, British mariners kept at least one timepiece on GMT in order to calculate their longitude from the Greenwich meridian, which was by convention considered to have longitude zero degrees. This did not affect shipboard time itself, which was still solar time. This, combined with mariners from other nations drawing from Nevil Maskelyne's method of lunar distances based on observations at Greenwich, eventually led to GMT being used world-wide as a reference time independent of location. Most time zones were based upon this reference as a number of hours and half-hours "ahead of GMT" or "behind GMT".

California is 8 hours behind World Standard Time, which is known as UTC. GMT is the same as UTC, so it is 8 hours later in GMT than in California. So it was 10:53pm.
It's 12:45am now, and nearly time for me to go to bed.
