Cool Hand.....go back to Physics class mah dear.....

"the world is rotating London to LA direction and hence it is rotating under the aircraft bringing the destination nearer to get to the UK while moving it away on the trip to the US."

I say this gently, as I don't want to cause any mortal wounds.....but have you tried jumping up and down recently and wondered why you land on pretty much exactly the same spot on planet Earth? i.e. according to your theory...oh.....you look it up......hehe!

Edited for one typo.....K.
