No time machine was found, but time travel was done!

Yes, the title is correct. The time machine is still a very utopian concept and there is no development about it yet. Throughout history, humanity has always wanted to take time forward or backward. However, this is still not possible. So how did an airline manage to time travel in 2000? How did they manage to experience perhaps what a special New Year’s Eve 2 times in the millennium year? Here are the details about the magnificent time “flight”…

With the supersonic Concorde, it is possible to enter the New Year twice!

Don’t worry, I won’t be talking about simple New Year’s Eve parties prepared on 2 separate days in our news. We’re going to tell you how you can actually go back in time. The special flight that I will describe shortly was made at the turn of the millennium, that is, the year 2000. The passengers accompanying this special flight along with the crew were perhaps the first time travelers in history and entered the year 2000 twice.

Let’s see how this special flight happened. The main character of the story is a Concorde. This special flight was made with the Concorde, the first passenger aircraft to fly faster than sound. The dates are December 31, 1999. There are only hours to the millennium. Location Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport Concorde private lounge. This special flight, which was operated by Air France and called “2 times millennium”, actually promised its passengers to buy time.

All passengers gathered in the Concorde private lounge of Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport. New Year’s Eve was celebrated for Paris in the hall, which was given an air of celebration by Air France. In Paris, the dates were now January 1, 2000. Passengers were taken to the Concorde plane, which was ready on the apron, at 00:15. The plane took off and took off at supersonic speed. Concorde, which started its flight over the Atlantic, started to go back in time 1 year by using its supersonic speed.

Of course, there is no real time travel here, but we see how time can be turned back by playing with world clocks. Flying to New York over the Atlantic, Concorde completed the journey in 3.5 hours, which normal passenger jets take in 8, 8.5 hours. Concorde lands in New York and its special passengers are taken to the special Concorde lounge reserved at the airport.

When the passengers landed in New York, the calendars still showed December 31, 1999. Considering that the 6-hour local time difference between New York and Paris and Concorde completed this flight in 3.5 hours, there was still 2 hours until January 1, 2000 for the passengers of this special flight. In other words, the 2nd New Year’s Eve celebration was held at the New York airport.

The next flight of this flight never happened. After the Concorde was withdrawn from the market, no other passenger jet capable of performing this flight was produced. Who knows, this special flight that took place in 2000 may be made again in the coming years. Of course, if a special plane like the Concorde is produced.
