The Search for a Physical Aspect in the Return Trip Effect

When we go from a place to a destination, and return to the place, the return trip always seems shorter than the outward trip, though the distance traveled and the actual duration of the trips are identical. This phenomenon is called the return trip effect.

There are many foregoing studies that provide important suggestions about the return trip effect but all the science behind it has a psycho physiological character. The aim of this work is a try to consider the return trip effect from a viewpoint of the physics.

The submitted research suggests to consider the return trip effect from view point of a physical electromagnetic interaction of those who are in a trip with the location of their home. The travel watches will show the same duration for the outward trip and for the return trip but the electromagnetic interactions of a traveler with the home location will result in different psycho physiological duration for the outward trips and for the return trips as shown in the submitted work.
