In Jules Verne's "Around the World in 80 day's" "At the reverend's, Passepartout learns that he is mistaken in the date, which he takes to be Sunday but which actually is Saturday due to the fact that the party traveled east, thereby gaining a full day on their journey around the globe, by crossing the International Date Line."
Is this possible or truly fiction? If true would the same be said if you traveled West and would be older then you think?
