How to time travel in a Delorean

cereberus · Apr 8, 2023

So I bought myself a Delorean and got up to 88 miles per hour and as I didn't have all Doc Emmet's mods, I could not go back to the 50's or whenever.

I queried it with the the sellers, and they told me I could go back exactly 24 hours though.

So how do you go back 24 hours in a standard Delorean?

The answer is quite simple.

Go to Antartica (only land mass that crosses the International Date Line).

Get close to Western side - accelerate car to 88 mph, cross dateline to Eastern side and you have now travelled 24 hours into the past.

Actually 88 mph is not essential but great fun on snow and ice.

Reverse process to go forward 24 hours.

Back in the day, I was stationed on Attu Island.
Talk about your arguments, every time we had to set the clocks forward or backward.
We were the eastern AND western-most point in the US.

Wow - by position, you should have been one day ahead.

The Kiribati islands are bizarre at UTC + 14 done to keep them one day ahead so business day is in line with New Zealand and Australia.

It was a military base so we had to run on Zulu time, to be in sync with the rest of the world.
