    I can recommend Greenwich (pronounced 'GREN-itch') as a great place to visit. Lots to see for everyone: mum, dad, the kids and the grandparents. For example: Royal Observatory, Cutty Sark, National Maritime Museum, Queen's House, Greenwich Park, Greenwich Market, Old Royal Naval College, boat trips, cable car (over the Thames), the O2, Greenwich foot tunnel (under the Thames), the Docklands Light Railway, pubs, cafes, restaurants, tea shops and sausages.

    It's so hilarious to see on Google Maps that some of Kiribati is at the same longitude line with Hawaii but there is a 24 hour difference between the two. I'm looking at this now and it's literally 10:48PM January 1st, 2021 in Napari Kiribati, but it's only 10:48PM December 31st, 2020 in Honolulu Hawaii!

    When you cross the international dateline in an easterly direction you subtract a day, but when you cross a midnight zone in the same direction you add a day. You add a day if crossing in a westerly direction and and subtract a midnight zone. Sometimes these additions and subtractions will cancel each other out and two positions will be on the same day.

    On the opposite side of the world to the Prime Meridian is the Antipodal Meridian (180 degrees longitude) The International Date Line also runs down this line, except it bends around some countries to keep that country i the same time zone. Hawaii and Australia are on different sides of that date line and are therefore on different days. The sun rises in the east and Australia will see the sun before Hawaii. By the time the sun rises in Hawaii, it will be the next day in Australia.

    I read that from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM UTC it is 3 different days for the earth. For example at 11:00 PM on December 31st in baker island and Howland island in the central area of the pacific ocean it is january 1st for the majority of the world and 1:00 AM on january 2nd for Kiribati's line islands. Which is 26 hours later then the local time of baker island and Howland island.

    If you take something round such as an orange and mark off 24 equal notches around the circumference (at the widest part), vertically and follow with a marker those lines to the top and bottom of the orange, meaning equal to the Earth (as if it's round), the lines will begin to converge to the top and bottom much thinner and then totally converge at the top and the bottom.
    In other words if an orange was 24 inches round (representative of the globe) and every 1 inch at the equator signified 1 hour what time would it be at the North and South Poles or even when you get closer and closer from the circumference upward or downward.
    If you take 360 as in 360 degrees (as the circumference of the orange) and divided by 24 (as in time zones) you come up with 15 or 15 degrees.
    So if every inch at the circumference of that orange is 15 degrees and you follow the lines from the circumference to the top and bottom of the orange (Globe simulation) they will converge in to 0 degrees at the top and bottom.
    So in finishing, what time would it be then at the North and South Pole. More specifically, when the lines get thinner what time would it be when you get closer from the equator to the North and South Poles?
    Critical thinking leaving behind cognitive dissonance.
    In summary, time cannot exist on a globe in 1 hour increments. Only on a Flat Earth model!

  • @P4hs
    @P4hs 7 лет назад +1

    A paradox: Determining which timezone is earlier-or-later is totally dependent on whether you're measuring 'earlier' & 'later' Numerically/Subjectively-ON-THE-CLOCK, or whether you're measuring what's Really/Objectively-'earlier'-or-'later'-IN-TRANSPIRING: You can imagine that if you're in America, and the sun is just rising, far off on the eastern horizon, then it would be around noon, in Britain, where the sun is overhead. So western times are NUMERICALLY/SUBJECTIVELY-earlier-on-the-clock (which there reads '6AM'), while eastern times are numerically/subjectively-later-on-the-clock (which it reads '12 noon'); but the eastern workday is REALLY/OBJECTIVELY-earlier-in-transpiring (where it's already lunchtime), while the western workday is really/objectively-later-in-transpiring (where people won't get to lunchtime for another 6 hours). So you can be earlier on the clock, but later in reality.

    The problem is that countries don't keep time zones where they should. Examples include Australia, Russia, France, central Australia (UTC + 9:30, not UTC +9), China, and others.

      a kk Not false at all. Look at Argentina and try to tell me that it shouldn't be an hour behind it's time zone on sheer basis of longitude.

    Why can't the time zones be simple meaning straight up and down instead of zig zag the same thing with the international date line.....however the line on the equator and the lines of latitude and longitude are straight so why the time zones and the INDL zig zag

    The International Date Line is in the wrong place because people are missing the point. Most Pacific islands are massed together and closer to Asia and Australia both physically and politically. If you look at a map from west to east and you start from Australia, you'll notice that after you go past Pitcairn Island, there are very few islands between there and Chile. The International Date Line should be just west of Easter Island and just west of Hawaii; they're relatively far away from other Pacific islands and closer to North & South America. The Prime Meridian should go through Cape Town instead of London because that way, it would go across as much land as possible from north to south; right now, the Prime Meridian misses most of Africa and it's a product of the UK's position in late 19th century geopolitics
