the.com/zulu time

the timezone that refuses to play favorites: everyone on earth, same clock, zero excuses.

means zulu time is another name for coordinated universal time (utc), the global reference time with no offset, used so nobody has to guess whose timezone wins.

from military phonetic alphabet used z for utc, and z became zulu when nato standardized the alphabet in the 1950s, so the greenwich meridian's zero-offset time inherited the codename.
