e.g. When I travel from Dubai (East) to London (West), it takes 45 minutes more than the journey way back? If you are going to answer that it is due to tail wind then please let me know why tail wind also blows in one direction all the year as this difference in time is the same every day/night of the year?
Someone told me that it is due to earth movement as earth moves anti clock wise so when you travel from point A in the East to Point B in the west, it takes longer to travel as point B has moved further since you started the journey and opposite happens when you travel back. I am not sure if that is very logical
Anyone around?
