A Race With the Sun An Aerial Travel Thought Experiment
The London Daily Mail imagines an aerial craft traveling up to 1000 mph that could make a traveler in it experience time differently. Starting from London at 660 mph, 10 a.m. would always feel like 10 a.m. to the traveler. The device could reverse days into six hour cycles by adjusting speed. If traveling westward at 1000 mph at 10 p.m., the sun would rise in the west, a sensation the Indianapolis Journal notes alongside a proverb about fools and cheaters.
