Is it just me or is time seemingly going by quicker???

*waits for someone smarter than him to explain*

 

[kingblaze84]

It's been flying for me as well, I think cuz it's been so much going on around the world with the Casey Anthony trial and so much shit around to distract us. If you have a good sex partner/spouse in your life, good weed, and a Playstation 3 with hot games, time will fly for you real quick. At least that's been my experience this year.

 

[damnkp]

maybe it's only idle time that flies...cus when i'm at work time goes slow as fuck

 

[Mellow Hype]

The older you get the faster time goes.

dont worry about it, your asking to much questions...........

u know somethin but aint tryna tell.... ok lol

when you're little you have no worry about time, you don't need to be places, you don't need to have things done at a certain time so when you're little you have really no concept of time. When you're older, obviously that changes so it seems faster.

 

[Beware]

the older you get the smaller the percentage of any certain time in your life gets.

for example:

1 year for a 5 year old = 1/5 of his/her life

1 year for a 50 year old = 1/50 of his/her life

therefor it seems shorter.

1 year for a 2 year old is 50 % of its life span

1 year for a 40 year old is way less.

not easy to explain but let that marinate a little...

Makes sense, we finna die

I've always thought time was "going by" in the amount of time that it takes for that time to pass.

Maybe that's just me.

That Fiat post, had me dying.

It is possible. Time is indicated by a measure of motion. It is not necessarily the traditional way we mark time in the seconds, hours, and minute ways. The Ancients did not necessarily mark time in that way. They marked time in a lot of instances by circumstances and events. Many Meso-American cultures marked time by cataclysmic events that they predicted which were manifested by thinking and actions in a lot of instances.

A baby in the womb or a cake in the oven is not complete predicated on 1,2,3,4, etc. The circumstances, action and environment dictate that fullness of time. No motion, no time.

Technology is ever increasing at a faster rate so in that way Time is speeding up.

No such thing, as Time...

Of course there's such a thing as "time". That's like saying, "There's no such thing as distance." or "There's no such thing as temperature.".

What's arguable, is whether time is universal/objective, since it appears as though gravity--and therefore mass--curves space-time.

 

[fiat_money]

Both quantify motion, but not time.

Motion is merely a change in position with respect to time.

If object "A" is initially at point (X1,Y1,Z1), and 2 seconds later object "A" is at point (X2,Y2,Z2); then the object's position has changed with respect to the 2 seconds that have passed, and motion has occurred.

Motion is inseparable from time.

 

[fiat_money]

Time is not applicable, past Earth...yet when human objects leave Earth and travel thru space, we clearly see their motion does not cease.

No need to separate them, sine Motion caused what we think is something called time. Which again I feel, does not exist Or else all of Time would stop, each time a human dies.

Of course time is applicable "past Earth". There's no reason that time wouldn't apply an object just because it has left the Earth. Nor is there any reason that any number of humans' deaths would affect time.

The units for velocity are meters per second, or more simply, distance per unit time; and the units for acceleration are meters per seconds square, or the rate at which velocity changes with respect to time. This means, without time, position would remain constant, and motion would be impossible. So "time", the fourth dimension, is required for motion to occur. Therefore, if motion exists, time must also exist.

Humans may have created the units for time and the word "time" itself, but they didn't create what the term represents. It's the same with any of the other physical quantities.

 

[fiat_money]

We can fool ourselves into applying it wherever we want, but...

Time is only according to Earth's rotation, around the sun. So time has to be n/a to any other rarefaction since God's sub-atomics allow space to exist via as many as 14 dimensions perhaps, so I can not join you my friend to focus on that lone, fourth one...I'm rolling with Hausdorf concepts or better yet M-theory on this issue

Peace

The time it takes for the Earth to rotate around its axis or the Sun, are known as "days" and "years" respectively, and they are merely "units of time" I referenced in my previous post. These units--along with other units of time--can be applied to other planets/stars/celestial bodies/atoms/electrons/photons/protons/etc, and are not solely applicable to the Earth.

Whether you view dimensions according to the string theory, m-theory, newtonianly, or purely mathematically; neither view negates the existence of time. Even if looking at things on a quantum level, applying special relativity, considering time dilation, or going as far to assume that the fine-structure constant varies positionally; such views still don't negate the existence of time.

 

[supaman4321]

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The Hour will not begin until knowledge is taken away, earthquakes increase, time passes quickly, tribulations appear, and there is a lot of haraj, which is killing, killing, and until there will be a lot of wealth among you and it will become abundant.”

And Ahmad narrated (10560) that Abu Hurayrah said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The Hour will not begin until time passes quickly, so a year will be like a month, and a month will be like a week, and a week will be like a day, and a day will be like an hour, and an hour will be like the burning of a braid of palm leaves.”

The more aware you are the slower 'time' goes.

 

[Fire Box]

When you want to go slow, it always moves fast and vice versa. So I think as you get older you desperately want to slow it down, hence it seems to fly by much faster. When you are younger you can't wait for time to go by thus it moves much slower!
