like imagine it's 1,000 years from now and humans live all over the solar system either on planet or moon surfaces or in orbiting stations. and there is 1 internet that the solar system shares. I wonder how people will keep track of the different time zones

This may be possible somehow, but I feel like each planet will have its own separate Internet for quite a while.

They'll probably run on a 24-hour clock to stay consistent with Earth, but concepts like day and night will be basically meaningless

I feel like actually colonizing other planets is a pipe dream. At least until FTL travel and communication is possible (which it may never be).
