How the International Date Line Works

[Sam1234800]

time travel exist no lie

[BiblioLuichai]

I didn't understand few things:

Firstly, does that mean that two different days are observed at the same time in the world?

How can we travel from Monday to Tuesday and back to Monday?

[yugavtar]

awesome video ...thanks!

[TheMorbidKlown]

Here's one thing I don't understand. Say the red area is Tuesday and the blue are is Monday. So what if I leave the US on tuesday and travel to Australia while the pacific ocean still has some Monday left in it. Am I hitting Australia on Tuesday or would it be Wednesday?

[shepdi]

@TheMorbidKlown Look at 1:18. If you could fly there instantly, you'd go from Tuesday to Monday and back into Tuesday.

Chances are that you'd pass over the international date line at some point, going from Monday into Tuesday.

However, if you crossed over the date line at exactly midnight, you'd go from 11:59 pm Monday to 12:00 a.m. Wednesday.

Imagine crossing the international date line, from December 31st of one year to January 1st if another, and back. That would be sick.

@AWesome61696 If you were staggering around the North Pole with your iPhone and watching the Times Square celebration, how many times could you watch the ball drop?

[liattail1]

this is so good! i was trying to understand the difference and what the international date line is supposed mean and now i finally do! thanx a lot!

[randommagnum]

You might want to mention that what you are calling the international dateline is actually the 180th meridian; it would be the dateline, but they made the dateline so that it avoids land masses/countries.

Also, after the red area goes all the way around, I'd start calling in Tuesday/Wednesday instead of Monday/Tuesday again (could be confusing).

Good video though.

[Atheol32]

Love this video, its so informative and the song is so catchy!

[Haukenslush]

easy enough

[solanima2007]

love that music

[Ahsdjhsdjhsdjh]

@solanima2007 What is this awesome music?!

[CivilizedMan444]

... This arbitrary mid-Pacific location is nowhere near the TRUE INTERNATIONAL DATELINE, which is the longitude that divides The East from The West - the only longitude that is recognized by our divinely installed instincts.

... This is also the longitude of the Great Pyramid at Giza in Egypt - the profoundly religious Symbol of Man - and the reason that it was built there.

[goami123]

that was a good video

[TexasSoccerChika]

That video really helped me understand how the date line works! :)

[banshee1999]

can anybody help me answering this question?

if two persons leave New Zealnd at the same time heading to London (Gmt 0), but one flys west, and the other ones flies east, flying the same amont of time...will they arrive in London in the same day?

man...i´m confused...

[PILIF1983]

@banshee1999 considering that both distances are equal and they fly the same amount of time with equal speeds, yes they will arrive in the time same day (date) hour.

[harut781]

cool if we go to international date line we will be living the same day again and again like the suit life on deck

[IlikepurpleXP]

Thank you! Simple and right to the point :D
