	A History of the International Date Line

		The demarcation line was moved to 370 leagues west of the Cape Verde Islands in the following year by the Treaty of Tordesillas, sanctioned by Pope Julius II in 1506.
		The temporary adjustment of the date line in 1921 to bisect Wrangel Island would appear to indicate the initial recognition of the Canadian claim on this island by the British Hydrographic Department.

	What to do if International Time hits the International Date Line?
		For Temps International TI = TAI - 32 s (if introduced today), we get equivalently delta_T(T) = TI - UT1 = (31 s/hy^2) T^2 - 84 s The offset between local civilian times would have to be adjusted by one hour when delta_T(T) = 0.5 h, 1.5 h, 2.5 h,..., i.e.
		International Time would continue to strictly follow the Gregorian rules, as it must be uniform and long-term predictable.
		This would at first glance of course mess up the date of the spring equinox (the reason for the Gregorian calendar reform), and who knows whether people still worry about when Easter Sunday is by then.

	Parshas VaYigash: The International Date Line (Site not responding. Last check: )
		This point is what is known as the International Date Line, and at the International Meridian Conference in 1884, it was decided that this date line would be at the point which is 180 degrees (that is, twelve hours) from Greenwich, England, a point which cuts primarily through the Pacific Ocean.
		One practical problem with this position of the Chazon Ish is that "his" date line, 90 degrees east of Yerushalayim, cuts through land masses in eastern Russia, China, and Australia, which means that within one country, or even one city, Shabbos could be on two different days.
		In other words, the date line, according to him, "bends", and follows the coastline of those land masses; all of eastern Russia, China, and Australia are thus considered to be east of Eretz Yisrael (ahead in time) and west of the date line.

		Although the dates for all the Jewish holidays can now be conveniently ascertained, even years in advance, by consulting a calendar, this was not the case during Talmudic times.
		The precise date had to be determined on each occasion by a properly constituted court in Jerusalem, on the basis of testimony from witnesses who had actually observed the relevant astronomical phenomena.
		Accordingly, once we have established that the bulk of Asia lies to the east of the halakhic date line, those few extremities of Siberia or China that happen to cross the line can safely be treated as part of the larger land mass.

	The International Date Line
		So it was again agreed internationally to place this Date Line at the 180th meridian, not because there is any special significance to its being directly opposite Greenwich, but because it runs right down the middle of the Pacific Ocean where there are the fewest land masses.
		When the Midnight Line reaches Greenwich, the half of the Earth West of Greenwich all the way to the Date Line is still in Tuesday, while the other half is in Wednesday.
		This International Date Line phenomenon is a real puzzler to many, but not a few people -- including veteran international travelers -- have trouble picturing why there are different time zones as we travel east and west, which causes that infamous "jet lag" so often experienced.
