When I started writing this I had just come off watch, now several hour ago at 0800, according to the ships clock. The Sun was still below the horizon.. A bit strange until you look at the other clock we have been changing as we pass through time zones. At 0800 ships time it was 0430 local time. Or 1400 UTC; Universal Time in Greenwich, England where it all began, and begins daily. In Portland it was 0700, Chicago and Houston 0900 and on the east coast it was 1000. In Copenhagen it was 1600. That is about 12 hours (except the unusual half hour locally) So what? Well if you note the date, June 21, at least I have always associated it with the longest day of the year. From 2nd grade we were taught that was the day when the Sun was at the furthest point north it would get, ergo the most hours of daylight. Of course the day is still only 24 hours, but you get the idea. My point. Here I am at 0800 and it is pitch black when I was expecting it to have been light hours earlier. Thinking about it I first wondered; was this to be the day the Sun did not rise, then started thinking where on the globe I was. This, in turn got me thinking about where on the globe were some of the family members of the people aboard. As noted here to Copenhagen represents half of a full day. Yet we all exist in this moment, nothing requires us to wait for our clocks to catch up before knowing about Copenhagen or Portland or places in between. This moment of clarity and insight brought about the conclusion that time travel is no science fiction fantasy, that my 2nd grade teacher was incorrect, June 21 may be the longest in the northern hemisphere, but it is the shortest south of the equator.
