Fixing the 12-Hour Clock: A Simpler and More Logical Time System

Authors: Abhishek Singh

This paper proposes a logical redesign of the traditional 12-hour clock system by shifting each hour one step earlier. Instead of starting the day at 12:00 AM and repeating the confusing cycle from 12 to 11, the proposed model begins at 1:00 and ends at 12:00 in both AM and PM cycles. This change aligns better with natural human counting, eliminates the long-standing confusion around 12:00 AM and 12:00 PM, and simplifies the way time is understood and taught. The goal is not to force a global change, but to offer a more intuitive alternative that could benefit education, digital systems, and daily communication.
