Time

Albert Einstein's proved that time is relative. It speeds up, slows down depending on how fast one thing is moving relative to something else.


In the 70's, they tested this out by setting Atomic clocks (extremely accurate clocks that can measure tiny amounts of time—billionths of a second). Science folks (read: nerds) used two atomic clocks to test Einstein's theory of relativity and time. One atomic clock was set up on the ground, while another was sent around the world on a jet traveling at 600 mph. At the start, both clocks showed exactly the same time.


As Einstein predicted , the clocks no longer showed the same time. The clock on the jet was off by a few billionths of a second. In essence, if you are moving fast towards something time actually goes by faster and thats some heavy stuff.


Sometimes, when my social calender gets filled up, I feel like time went by quick. Indeed, time flies by when your having fun. Einstein would say, it goes by even quicker for you if you ran there, took a train, biked, or flew there.


I was absent the day they taught time in school. When I ask someone what time it is, they tend to show me their watch and I say "okay, thanks". What I'm actually saying is thanks for showing me your watch. Big hand, little hand. I dont know and Im too nervous to care to learn.


Thank god my iphone prevents me from having to ask people the time anymore.


My husband bought me a beautiful watch for Christmas. It is not digital, so I wear it as jewelry.

Im the kind of person that is passionately moved by theory of relativity but completely thrown into a frenetic panic whenever people try to teach me how to tell time.


Recently, I pleaded with my husband to slow down. He has a habit of rushing through stuff and this makes me feel like life is going by too quickly. I want to savor the moment. It also means we can not have nice dishes because his tendency toward multitasking, speed and efficiency means we break a lot of glassware.


I cant live in a world of plastic.



Time is a very strange and special thing, it brings you closer to death and makes you look uglier as it goes on. It's also the basis for which we live and manmade. or it is. i sound like i smoked pot. forget it.
