Becuase when you cross the Dateline, The time zone changes ahead because of how the hour changes 24 times in the world, It would be excaclty a day later. When you cross the Dateline It would be tomorrow, or yesterday. Whichever way you cross.

∙ 12y agoWhen you cross the International Date Line, you change your calendar and your
calendar-wristwatch by exactly one day (24 hours). The effect is that the time
doesn't appear to change at all, but the date changes by exactly one day. The
direction of the change depends on the direction in which you're proceeding
when you cross the Dateline.

and am still here to tell the tale.
