Such a time rule was devised（設(shè)計(jì)）by Sir Sanford Fleming（1827-1915）．He was an engineer who lived in Canada．He held a meeting in 1884 to discuss the time problem．He suggested that there should be 24 meridians（子午線）dividing the world into 24 time zones（時(shí)區(qū)）．The zero meridian would pass through the village of Greenwich near London．The time at Greenwich would be called Greenwich Mean Time，and at each of the 24 meridian lines，the time would go forward or backwards by one hour．
