I hate admitting this. I’m 46, educated and logical, but I don’t TRULY understand how time zones work – when I flew to America from the UK the flight was 8 hours, but when I landed, only 2 hours had elapsed in local time but it’s the same day. Where does the time go? Does it sort of get saved up at the international date line and cancelled or something? I hate admitting I don’t really understand this.

thats basics of mechanics. no movement can exist without point of reference.
12 am in London is 07 am in NY
you were moving against rotation of Earth, so Earth pulled you and plane to east, if your plane was able to fly with speed of 1000 miles per h, you would arrive at the same local time as you departed in UK
