It's the science part of social science. History is just one of the social sciences. But any way start by figureing out what time/day it is in Sydney when you take off. Do you have an iPhone?

If you get a job working on an airplane. Your biological clock must get very messed up?

anonymous · Answer

yeah I guess so...just like a magnetic compass, the more north you go, the more messed up it gets( every time you move from time zone to time zone, your clock messes up)
