Comments on: If i stand at North Pole and walk clockwise i could pass the meridian every few mins, am i time travelling? http://www.lastminutetravelguru.com/321/if-i-stand-at-north-pole-and-walk-clockwise-i-could-pass-the-meridian-every-few-mins-am-i-time-travelling/ Fri, 20 Jan 2012 10:33:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: jibbajabba http://www.lastminutetravelguru.com/321/if-i-stand-at-north-pole-and-walk-clockwise-i-could-pass-the-meridian-every-few-mins-am-i-time-travelling/#comment-949 jibbajabba Fri, 10 Jul 2009 06:43:59 +0000 http://lastminutetravelguru.com/321/if-i-stand-at-north-pole-and-walk-clockwise-i-could-pass-the-meridian-every-few-mins-am-i-time-travelling/#comment-949 has the time on your watch moved forward as it always did? of course it did. second by second, minute by minute.<br><b>References : </b><br> has the time on your watch moved forward as it always did? of course it did. second by second, minute by minute.

The international dateline is between Alaska and Russia, like someone already said. If you go west of the line, you will go earlier in time, all the way to "yesterday", but as soon as you cross the line again, the time jumps back to the next day. For example, you live just west of the line. It's Monday 1am, you suddenly wake up and realise that you don't feel like going to work today. So you travel west, and with each time zone you cross, the time goes back 1hr. You carry on going west, where it is now Sunday. Finally, you approach the familiar line again from the east, thinking that it will launch you into Saturday. But you're wrong, as soon as you cross the line it will be Monday morning again :-p<br><b>References : </b><br> You will be walking backwards and forwards between two days, that’s all.

The date line does not at all go through London, it goes through the Bering Strait between the US and Russia. Also, going east you don't go back in time, you go forward. If your time is 05.00 where you are, it's 06.00 in the time zone East of you (with a few exceptions). But, the way it works is that on the date line you go back a day. If you're in Alaska at 05.00 on the 10th of July, on the other side of the date line it's 04.00 on the 11th of July. Going east it will be later and later and later, but then all of a sudden it'll be yesterday again.<br><b>References : </b><br> Lotsa flaws in your question here.

Time marches on, inexorably forward. All you are doing is passing through an arbitrary time zone established merely so that we could say dawn always occurred at roughly the same time across the globe. There is also a fatal flaw in your logic, because even though you may have passed the Intl date line, one you cross it again you cease moving backwards, and now jump immediately back forward again.<br><b>References : </b><br> No, of course not.
