▶ How do we know?

facts…

See reasoning…

I followed this chain of reasoning...

I know from locally stored knowledge that:
the UK commonly translates as "the UK" ([fact: ["1131747@trueknowledge.com"]])

the UK is the time zone area for the UK ([fact: ["98007626@trueknowledge.com"]])

Fact 1: British Summer Time is the time zone for the UK ([fact: ["20031093@trueknowledge.com"]])

Fact 1: is true for March 28th 2010, 01:00 - October 31st 2010, 01:00 ([fact: ["242946542@trueknowledge.com"]])

daylight saving applies to British Summer Time ([fact: ["97193985@trueknowledge.com"]])

By calculation (generator: ["now@trueknowledge.com"]) I know that:
The current time is September 3rd 2010, 17:42:23

Therefore (generator: ["length_time_less_than@trueknowledge.com"]):
2,010 years, 9 months, 3 days, 17 hours, 42 minutes and 23 seconds is not greater than 2,010 years, 10 months, 31 days, 1 hour and 0 minutes

By calculation (generator: ["length_time_less_than@trueknowledge.com"]) I know that:
2,010 years, 9 months, 3 days, 17 hours, 42 minutes and 23 seconds is less than 2,010 years, 10 months, 31 days, 1 hour and 0 minutes

Therefore (generator: ["length_time_less_than@trueknowledge.com"]):
2,010 years, 9 months, 3 days, 17 hours, 42 minutes and 23 seconds is not the same as 2,010 years, 10 months, 31 days, 1 hour and 0 minutes

By calculation (generator: ["earlier_than_timepoint@trueknowledge.com"]) I know that:
September 3rd 2010, 17:42:23 is earlier than the timepoint October 31st 2010, 01:00

By calculation (generator: ["timepoint_sum@trueknowledge.com"]) I know that:
March 3rd 2011, 17:42:23 is the timepoint sum of September 3rd 2010, 17:42:23 and 6 months and 0 days

Therefore (generator: ["length_time_less_than@trueknowledge.com"]):
2,010 years, 10 months, 31 days, 1 hour and 0 minutes is not greater than 2,011 years, 3 months, 3 days, 17 hours, 42 minutes and 23 seconds

By calculation (generator: ["length_time_less_than@trueknowledge.com"]) I know that:
2,010 years, 10 months, 31 days, 1 hour and 0 minutes is less than 2,011 years, 3 months, 3 days, 17 hours, 42 minutes and 23 seconds

Therefore (generator: ["length_time_less_than@trueknowledge.com"]):
2,010 years, 10 months, 31 days, 1 hour and 0 minutes is not the same as 2,011 years, 3 months, 3 days, 17 hours, 42 minutes and 23 seconds

By calculation (generator: ["earlier_than_timepoint@trueknowledge.com"]) I know that:
October 31st 2010, 01:00 is earlier than the timepoint March 3rd 2011, 17:42:23

I know from locally stored knowledge that:
+1 hour is the time zone differential of British Summer Time ([fact: ["20030718@trueknowledge.com"]])

By calculation (generator: ["timepoint_sum@trueknowledge.com"]) I know that:
October 31st 2010, 02:00 is the timepoint sum of October 31st 2010, 01:00 and 1 hour and 0 minutes

By calculation (generator: ["local_time_equivalent_to@trueknowledge.com"]) I know that:
October 31st 2010, 02:00 BST is the local time equivalent to October 31st 2010, 01:00

By calculation (generator: ["strictequal1@trueknowledge.com"]) I know that:
October 31st 2010, 02:00 BST is strictly equal to October 31st 2010, 02:00 BST

By calculation (generator: ["pinstance@trueknowledge.com"]) I know that:
Fact 2 October 31st 2010, 01:00 is a point in time

Fact 2: is true for all time

By calculation (generator: ["timepoint_common_translation@trueknowledge.com"]) I know that:
October 31st 2010, 01:00 commonly translates as "October 31st 2010, 01:00"

By calculation (generator: ["tptranslate1@trueknowledge.com"]) I know that:
October 31st 2010, 02:00 BST commonly translates as "October 31st 2010, 02:00 BST"

By calculation (generator: ["description_daylight-saving_end_in@trueknowledge.com"]) I know that:
Fact 3 The clocks in the UK go back on October 31st 2010, 02:00 BST (October 31st 2010, 01:00 UTC). is the description of daylight-saving end in the UK

Fact 3: is true for September 3rd 2010, 17:42:23 - March 3rd 2011, 17:42:23

I used the following facts to provide this answer:

the UK is having the relationship 'commonly translates as' with "the UK"

the UK is the time zone area for the UK

agree disagree edit

British Summer Time has been the time zone for the UK between March 28th 2010, 01:00 and October 31st 2010, 01:00

agree disagree edit

+1 hour is or has been the time zone differential of British Summer Time
