nadrielYesterday afternoon went very quickly, despite not being very interesting. Now I'm familiar with time passing fast when I'm having fun, but this one is new on me.
So it got me thinking about time. Is time a constant? I mean, we have all these devices that measure it as such, and yet we can still lose track of it.
Again, it comes down to one of my favourite things, the perception of reality. So, if we percieve time as relative, then we make it effectively so, as far as we're concerned. The question arises, is it possible to do this deliberately, and if so, how?
The pragmatist in me also thinks that marketing a device that allowed people control over relative time, at least to a limited degree, would make me a small fortune...
