What if it took you exactly one hour to fly from one time zone to another?

Question

Flying through time zones forces you to change your watches to the local time. So if you take one hour to get to another time zone, and you must set your watch back an hour. When you arrive in the next time zone your watch will be the same time as when you left. Say you kept on going, wouldn't this make time stop indefinetely?

Answer 1

It would make for a long boring flight.

Answer 2

after you pass Hawai and get to aisa, it will be tomorrow

Answer 3

#1, it matters which way you're going. If you're going west, you'd have to set your watch an hour back after compensating for the hour of travel. However, you forgot that not all the time zones' borders are the same distance from eachother. Something else you forgot is that the time zones will only change your clocks every hour-in between, the clocks are still going forward, even though they'll be turned back every hour. Also, there are other conditions like weather and fuel.

But besides all that, an airplane isn't a time machine! Just because the clock isn't moving from hour to hour from your perspective does not mean the entire concept of time for the universe has stopped! This would be an appropriate place to literally say, "The universe does not revolve around you."

Answer 4

until you run out of fuel...
