Before there can be Daylight Saving Time, there needs to be standard time. That happened in 1918, by the Standard Time Act of 1918 in the Federal Congress (USA), which also set DST to start at the end of March. The law got repealed and the Roosevelt set up "War Time" which was year round DST during WWII. There was a period of non-standard time around the country which LBJ ended with the Uniform Time Act in '66. Nixon setup Emergency DST which lasted for 15 months. In '86 is when the laws were setup as we know the DST schedule to be.

So basically, no one really knows what the hell time it is, except maybe phycists, but even they say it's all relative

Actually it is currently 0500 zulu 7/29 (Universal standard time).
