One second on the ground

Time might be a grid. The global time zone agreement divides time into 24 pieces, geographically. It connects the virtual concept to a tangible mapping system. How long it is the distance on the land where one second travels? In providence, it is 345.6m.
 
To experience a spatial second, I constructed a time tank – a device filled with sand one carries on her back for experiencing time as a geographical and gravitic concept. Strapped to my back, I walked 345.6m from west to east in Providence and as the sand runs out, my body experiences the passage of a second.
