If we are at one point of the earth and the time is 7 a.m., if we take one step to the on the other side the time is 7 p.m. due to the time zones. How is this possible?

what are you talking about man? It's due to the angle of the sun, you know day and night? Society made up all the rest of it accordingly.

ohh I see what you mean, well it depends where you are, I guess you are referring to the South Pacific region?

true though, there is some whacked out stuff going on with some of those zones.

basically, according to my research. The international date line goes through north and sout pole.
And the only way u could move from one time zone, say u r in 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., is if u r at the north or south pole.

I once saw a documentary about flat earth theory supporters that said if you were standing on the international date line and said something to some one in the direction that the earth is supposed to be roatating they would never hear you because the earth at the point would be rotating faster than the speed of sound... that was one of the coolest documentaries i ever saw, it was crazy... they had all sorts of weird theories

This woman, in the thirties i think, tried all these experiments to see if the world was rotating, like keeping an airship in the same position for a day to see if the landscape would move underneath, but the landscape stayed in the same place, and then she went to the north or south pole because she theorised that she would find the edge of the world there, she never came back. And then in the seventies i think, some researchers found her pack, it had a camera and a note that said 'i found it' , then the researchers opened the camera and exposed all the film. It was such a cool doco, i want to see it again
