GMT stands for Greenwich Mean Time. It is the time that is set at the 0 degree meridian that happens to run through Greenwich, England. Any time that is given as GMT for any time zone in the world is relative to what it is at zero degrees longitude. For example four time zones to the west would be -4 GMT (I believe thats the Eastern Time Zone in the U.S.)

GMT is Greenwich Mean Time. This runs through London and acts as the centre of the time barriers. Officially New York is 5 hours behind the UK, not the other way round. (like some americans like to think!)

greenwich mean time. back in 17-20th centuries, when britain was the sole superpower in the world, owing to their centuries of loot and plunder around the world by british pirates arrogated that the world begins and ends with britain. because of their enforcing this rule, the world time has been set to 00:00 from greenwhich and progressively gets earlier or later in accordance with earth's rotation. as such there is no scientific evidence to suggest that GMT is THE time, but we are used to referring it that way. today sun travels in the british "empire" for a whole of 75 miles across, as the "empire" physically shrunk to three isles and everybody else is wiser now.
