  2. Jet lag - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_lag

    If the absolute time difference between two locations is greater than 12 hours, one must subtract 24 from or add 24 to that number. For example, the time zone UTC+14 will be at the same time of day as UTC−10, though the former is one day ahead of the latter. Jet lag is linked only to the distance travelled along the east–west axis.

  3. Time dilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation

    Time dilation is the difference in elapsed time as measured by two clocks, either because of a relative velocity between them (special relativity), or a difference in gravitational potential between their locations (general relativity). When unspecified, "time dilation" usually refers to the effect due to velocity.

  4. This Is the Real Difference Between “Less” and “Fewer”

    This is because this sentence refers to “two hours” as a lump sum of time, not as individual hours. ... this phrase is actually grammatically incorrect—it should say “ten items or fewer ...

  5. UTC offset - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTC_offset

    So if the time being described is two hours ahead of UTC (such as in Kigali, Rwanda [approximately 30° E]), the UTC offset would be "+02:00", "+0200", or simply "+02". By convention, every inhabited place in the world has a UTC offset that is a multiple of 15 minutes but the majority of offsets are stated in whole hours.

  6. Time of arrival - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_of_arrival

    The peak at time = 5 is a measure of the time shift between the recorded waveforms, which is also the value needed for equation 3. Figure 4b shows the same type of simulation for a wide-band waveform from the emitter. The time shift is 5 time units because the geometry and wave speed is the same as the Figure 4a example.

  7. List of time zones by country - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_time_zones_by_country

    This is a list representing time zones by country. Countries are ranked by total number of time zones on their territory. Time zones of a country include that of dependent territories (except Antarctic claims). France, including its overseas territories, has the most time zones with 12 (13 including its claim in Antarctica and all other counties).

  8. Distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance

    The distance between sets A and B is the infimum of the distances between any two of their respective points: (,) =, (,). This does not define a metric on the set of such subsets: the distance between overlapping sets is zero, and this distance does not satisfy the triangle inequality for any metric space with two or more points (consider the ...

  9. Friction of distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction_of_distance

    In each case, the amount of time and/or effort required to travel ten meters is a measurement of the friction of distance. Determining the optimal route requires balancing these costs, and can be solved using the technique of cost distance analysis. In another, very common example, a person wants to drive from his home to the nearest hospital.
