Does that mean you age backwards if you go from rock in + timezone to rock in - timezone?

How about this?

The islands either side of the international date line are 24/25 hours apart!

You could take a couple of hours flight and do Christmas/NYE twice :joker:

But I thought time was all to do with sunrise and sunset so surely these rock islands would see the same sunrise and sunset so why is the time different

It's a 21 hour time difference, so it's not completely different. For one island the sun would set at 11pm (or somewhere around that) and for the other, it's happening at 8pm the following day.

Sunrise and sunset are defined in relation to the equator. At the equator every day and night is 12 hours long :smug:
