what would happen to time?

Question

what would happen to time if you flew around the equator at the same speed as the earth revolved or flew the opposite way at the same speed

Answer 1

time would still pass as normal for YOU, but not time as in the time on your watch.

Answer 2

If you flew round the equator at the same speed that the Earth revolves in the same direction then it would be just like standing still on the surface of the Earth (you would not move relative to the ground), remember the air, you, and everything surrounding you revolves with the Earth!
Flying in the opposite direction at the same speed that the Earth revolves would mean the sun would effectively not set (assuming you did it in day time) as the Earth is effectively turning beneath you as you stay still. Your watch would still turn and you would still grow old as would everone/thing around you but the sun would never set/rise (I think, but it's late and I'm quite tired so I could be wrong).

Perhaps what are thinking about is slowing down/speeding up through time by turning going round the Earth. The key word here is "relativity". If you are interested in this go and read a book about it as the ideas are far too complex to state here but essentially (the part that may interest you) as you go faster, relative to everything else, time slows down.
This means someone going at the speed of light is ageing (their watch is going slower) than you if you were standing still.
Unfortunately this is all relative as it may infact be you going at the speed of light and them standing still in which case your watch would be going slower...but as I said, if you're interested either google it or read a book.

Answer 3

If you flew round the equator at the same speed as the earth revolved the time would move as normal because you are moving the same speed as the earth, so it would be as if you were not moving at all.

If you flew the opposite way, it would go backwards twice as quickly (I think).

Answer 4

If you flew at the same speed as earth time would be the same as the area you are flying over.

Answer 5

I will take it if you are in the outer space
Time = speed*distance
then the time is your speed in passing a distance so the time for you backing to the earth will be zero because for a point in the earth you are moving zero meters in zero speed which means you and the earth are constants for each other (like if you and your friend are driving your cars the same speed ,direction and way so if you looked from the window to your friend's car it will seem constnt for you ) but if you take your movement relating to the sun the time will pass normally because the sun is ( virtually ) constant for you and you are moving .if we expect in the same past example that you and your friend are turning around a car stopping in the middle of your round way. So you seem constant for each other and moving for the stopped car .(you can try it by walking in the same speed with your mate looking at each other only and you will thing non of you is moving just like walking infront of a big miror when you and your shadow move in the same time)

Answer 6

not a damn thing, the only time you would notice a change in your time compared to others on earth is if you were to go close to the speed of light which is a lot faster than going the same speed as the earth rotates or orbits in space

Answer 7

as i presume that the earth does not revolve faster than the speed of light then nothing would happen otherwise time would pass slower than earth time

Answer 8

Pray to God constantly on an identical time as attempting, as God facilitates people who help themselves particularly than people who're lazy. Lord Krisna mentioned in Bhagavad Gita, we would desire to constantly carry out our works and resign the fruit of our action. So we would desire to maintain attempting and locate excitement in doing our artwork, no remember if or not we get the needed consequence. we would desire to constantly not lose wish. Do your perfect and go away the rest to God,this is going to all come excellent some day or night.

Answer 9

I think what you are asking about is the time change. When I was in the navy I crossed the international date line. In one direction the clock moved backward 1 hour, in the other direction (I think it was going east) we moved the clocks ahead 1 hour.

Answer 10

you'd be sucked through a black hole, ejected into a space/time warp continuum and left to drift aimlessly for aeons, before landing back at heathrow airport in time to see that your bags went elsewhere and the tube was on strike

Answer 11

How fast are you flying ? Speed of light ? :P
