Question: Should history more accurately present timeline differences!?
The reason I ask is that, if you look up when Van Gogh died, it was on the 29th of this month, also my birthday, but I recall a documentary saying he died in the early morning hours, I think around 1 am French local time, which is presently 6 hours ahead of Eastern Standard US time!. That means, from my perspective, Van Gogh died on the 28th!.

Or is GMT the standard for deciding the dates of events!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
