Well mabye not really. But i often find it weird to think about how we experience time passing. Without something to sit there and experience it all happening the universe would be over and done with in a snap. Anyone have any idea why it is that our experience slows the passing of time down to the rate that we actually experience it at? In a sort of related question that could very well be in its own post… meh im gonna put it in its own post anyway. Ponder this one for now.
Put your hand on a hot stove a minute feels like an hour, sit beside a beautiful girl and an hour seems like a minute
Is time merly not the movement of thought?
time is an illusion that we cannot ignore
a mayfly lives its whole life in a single day from a human perspective
but that mayfly spends its whole life trying to garantee that its seed will be fruitful
perhaps from the earths perspective
humanity are just another mayfly
love and respect
kasey
p.s.
perhaps a day in the life of the universe is the same as that mayfly
Apparently, from what I’ve been told, Frank Zappa talks about ‘death by nostalgia’, whereby the world will come to an end when the things we are nostalgic about have only just occured (apparently this is because there seems to be a trend showing that everything we’re nostalgic has become more recent over the years, until what we’re nostalgic about catches up with us and time stops).
Time pertains to change.
Without changes there is no time.
If the sun remains at its noon day position for all times, there will be no morning and no evening, and we will not perceive a thing call a day.
If the caesium atom do not oscillate we would not have an atomic clock.
If the caesium atoms oscillate slower or faster than they did in the time before now, and every other changes in this world and the universe slow or speed up at the same rate, then we will have no perception that time is slowing down or speeding up.
If indeed human beings are slowing down time, it may be something humanly unknowable.
