5:30 Lol, I love how you finished the problem at exactly 5:33.

Sal, I have a good idea: if you’re going to do another one of these time-zone videos, you should copy and paste a picture of the time-zones in the United States onto your black-screen.

For example, the International Space Station, they orbit the earth several times in a 24 hour period, but their days aren't any shorter or longer just because they're in space. They still have 24 hours to go before the next day arrives. And as for the part about being stuck in one day, no, you will just travel back and forth between "days" due to the time zone changes.

@MuseseekerMan no, it doesn't matter if you are continuously flying around the earth in a jet, you will age the same, and there are still 24 hours in 1 day so if you were to stay aloft in the aircraft for, oh I don't know, let's say a week, and then when that week has past, you land back where you took off from at the exact time you took off at. You would have aged during those 168 hours just the same as you would of if you had never taken off and stayed on the ground. For example, the Internat

@nicochunger

I know that. I googled the comparison table.

But i still don't get it: why use complicated and confusing "am/pm" method if "military" is so simple?

I have a question about time zones...... if i travel east perpetually in a jet and circle the globe constantly, will i be stuck in the same day forever or be in the past, or will days go by way more slowly for me, keeping me young as people age? Will the reverse happen if i travel west?
