The article states “if you're trying to see the world in three weeks or less, ''travel westward,'' said Eimerd Evertsen, owner and president of Air Brokers International based in San Francisco. ''In general, it's easier on the body to travel with the rotation of the earth”.”
This last statement is contradictory: traveling westward takes you against the rotation of the earth because the earth rotates from east to west. |
