Einstein grew up while the clock synchronization thing was
  happening. I suspect it led to his interest in Time.

  In 1884, the GMT was established. Einstein was born in 1879. He
  would've been 4 years old, too young to remember it happening,
  but it would've grown up with the IMPLEMENTATION and the
  controversy of implementing a standardized set of worldwide
  clocks.

  I suspect it bugged him... this dissonance between the two views
  of Time and it sparked his interest and curiosity.

  I could be wrong of course. This is just speculation on my part
  but I'm sure _somebody_ else made the same connection as me. I
  usually find I'm not the first with ideas.
