Since the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic is about to arrive, I was wondering how to synchronize the time of the impact with the iceberg in the 1997 film Titanic with the time of the real location of the incident, to start the film in Italy at the time in which the two times correspond. all this to see the film with “a higher level of reality”. initially I tried using gemini, the Google ai also known as bard, to find the exact time to start watching the film, after various adjustments and refinements this is the result: ​ question: ## if in james cameroon’s 1997 film titanic in italy UTC+1, the titanic hits the iceberg precisely at minute 100 and 20 seconds, at what time should the film start assuming that the Titanic’s clocks were set to 2 hours and 58 minutes behind Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and 2 hours and 2 minutes ahead of Eastern Time. recalling that the Titanic hit the iceberg on April 14th at 11.40pm onboard time, that the film lasts a total of 3 hours and 14 minutes and 41 seconds, and that the collision with the iceberg occurred around 2.38am GMT ​ answer: ## Titanic movie start time to synchronize the impact with the iceberg (minute 100 and 20 seconds) Following the steps and information provided, the exact time to start the Titanic movie in Italy (UTC+1) to synchronize with the iceberg impact at minute 100 and 20 seconds is **01:23 on April 15, 2024**. **Detailed Explanation:** **1. Calculate the GMT time of the iceberg impact:** The iceberg impact occurred at 11.40pm shipboard time on April 14, 1912. The Titanic’s clocks were set 2 hours 58 minutes behind relative to GMT. Therefore, to get the GMT time of impact, we need to add 2 hours 58 minutes to the onboard time: 11:40 pm (onboard time) + 2 hours 58 minutes = 2:38 GMT (15 April 1912) * *2. Convert GMT to Italian time:** Italy is in UTC+1, which is 1 hour ahead of GMT. Therefore, to get the Italian time corresponding to 2:38 GMT, we need to add 1 hour: 2:38 GMT + 1 hour = 3:38 Italian time (April 15, 2024) **3. Consider the length of the film:** The film lasts 3 hours and 14 minutes and 41 seconds. To synchronize the iceberg impact with the 100 minute and 20 second mark of the film, we need to subtract the film’s duration from the previously calculated Italian time: 3:38 Italian time – 3 hours, 14 minutes, 41 seconds = 0: 11pm Italian time (April 15, 2024) **4. Calculate the time in the film when the Titanic hits the iceberg:** In the film, the impact with the iceberg occurs at minute 100 and 20 seconds. To get this moment in the movie, we need to add the time it takes to reach minute 100 and 20 seconds from the beginning of the movie (0:23 ET): 0:23 ET + 1 hour 41 minutes 20 seconds = **1:64 Italian time** **5. Adjust for the time difference between Titanic and New York:** Titanic’s clocks were set 2 hours and 2 minutes ahead of New York time. Since New York time at the time was UTC-5, we can convert Titanic time to New York time by subtracting 2 hours and 2 minutes: 11:40 PM (onboard time) – 2 hours and 2 minutes = 21 :38 New York time **Conclusion:** Based on the information provided, the exact time to start the Titanic movie in Italy (UTC+1) to synchronize with the iceberg impact at minute 100 and 20 seconds it is **01:23 on April 15, 2024**. At this point in the film (**1:64 ET**), the Titanic will have hit the iceberg at minute 100 and 20 seconds, reflecting the actual time of the event (2:38 GMT). **Notes:** *It is important to note that this is a hypothetical simulation, as the Titanic’s clocks were not actually set with such time discrepancies. The collision with the iceberg occurred at 23:40 ship time, which corresponds to 02:38 GMT on April 15, 1912. * The difference of 20 seconds between the actual time of impact with the iceberg (2:38 GMT) and the time in the film (2:38 ET) is due to the time difference between GMT and UT. I hope this explanation is clearer and more precise. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to ask. ​ for those who are confused I want to underline that by gemini (**1:64 Italian time**) he means the time of the film i.e. **1:41 and 20 seconds.** where I got the time zone details from: [What time zone was the RMS Titanic in when it hit the iceberg on April 14th, 1912 at 23:40 hours? – Quora](https://www.quora.com/What-time-zone-was-the-RMS-Titanic-in-when-it-hit-the-iceberg-on-April-14th-1912-at-23-40-hours#:~:text=TL%3BDR%3A%20Titanic’s%20clocks%20were,time%20for%20the%20log%20book.)

    come gemini interpreta 1:64

    # in che senso (1:64 ora italiana)

    L’espressione “(1:64 ora italiana)” indica un momento specifico nel film “Titanic” che corrisponde all’impatto con l’iceberg avvenuto nella realtà.

    Vediamo come scomporre l’espressione:

    * **1:** indica l’ora (1 ora dopo l’inizio del film)
    * **64:** indica i minuti (64 minuti dopo l’inizio dell’ora)

    Tuttavia, poiché un film non ha minuti che superano i 59, l’espressione “(1:64 ora italiana)” non è un formato standard per indicare il tempo in un film.

    Esistono due modi più comuni per esprimere questo momento nel film:

    * **1:41 e 20 secondi:** aggiungendo 1 ora e 41 minuti e 20 secondi all’inizio del film (00:00:00).
    * **Minuto 100 e 20 secondi:** considerando la durata totale del film fino al momento dell’impatto.

    Quindi, per sincronizzare l’impatto con l’iceberg con il minuto 100 e 20 secondi del film, dobbiamo iniziare la visione alle **01:23 del 15 aprile 2024 (ora italiana)**. A questo punto del film (1 ora e 41 minuti e 20 secondi dall’inizio, o minuto 100 e 20 secondi), vedremo l’impatto con l’iceberg, che corrisponde all’ora reale dell’evento (2:38 GMT).

    Mi scuso se la precedente espressione “(1:64 ora italiana)” ha causato confusione. Spero che questa spiegazione sia più chiara.
