Ok, so GMT is now called UTC or "Universal Coordinated Time".  As a
pilot, I know that aviation weather reports, flight plans, and a whole
bunch of other such things are reported in "Zulu time", where "Zulu"
is the ICAO phonetic alphabet's letter "Z".  Times are written with a
"Z" suffix, as in "0830Z".  Zulu time is EST+5 and EDT+4 (Your
timezones may vary.  Half an hour earlier in Newfoundland).  Is Zulu
time just another expression of UTC?

Another question about UTC.  Does it run from 0000 to 2359, or from
0001 to 2400?  What is the UTC at midnight (in Greenwich)?
