Hollywood make billions of dollars out of this fascination every decades or so. Donnie darko is a good example among others of what human can create out of those complicated time lines.

Books on time travelling are numerous. Some are based on pure complicated mathematical theory, some others just build a nice story of sons meeting their dad before their own mother met him.

Yet, time travelling is possible. There is place on earth where you can go back and forth in time as easily as taking a taxi. It is called the international day line. If you want to have New Years’s Eve twice, just go in the pacific and here the magic comes!

On the west of the line, it is monday while on the east it is sunday! This is a pure mathematical abnormality we human created 2 centuries ago by choosing England as our time reference.

Why on earth, is there a reference on a sphere?

Now that internet has made our world a single small ball, why not choose a new reference so that time travelling can still be a nice and impossible dream?
