EIGHTH ORDINARY MEETING. Ve 
When it is mean midnight at Greenwich, that moment it is mean 
noon at the meridian 180° from Greenwich, as indicated by the solar 
passage. Hence the anti-Prime Meridian practically becomes the 
time-zero for the world. 
The initial instant of the twenty-four hours of each successive 
Universal or Cosmic Day is the moment of mean solar passage on 
the Anti-Prime Meridian. The first hour of the Cosmic Day is at 
the solar passage on the meridian 15° westward This then hecomes: 
the 1st hour meridian. The second hour of the Cosmic Day is at the 
solar passage on the meridian 15° still further westward. This be- 
comes the 2nd hour meridian. And so on in turn, each meridian 
which is an exact multiple of 15° from zero becomes an hour meridian 
corresponding in number with the numbers of the successive hours of 
the Cosmic Day. 
The twenty-four hour meridians so determined come in the follow- 
ing order, viz. : 
LONGITUDE COSMIC TIME 
EAST AND WEST. HOUR MERIDIAN. AT SOLAR PASSAGE. 
ANTI-PRIME MERIDIAN ZERO. THE Day BEGINS.
