Mrs Wombat asks: Why does my watch always go wrong after crossing the pond and coming back again? - what's involved in flying that upsets electronic watches? (We understand the relativistic effects involved, but that's not what's happening; her watch stops for an hour or three per night after a hop across the pond, at which point she goes out and buys a new one, which goes wrong similarly on the next trip.)
