Quoting: Anonymous Coward 19503697 the water and everything in it stays steady for a time then it all starts getting pulled towards the drain.. the closer it all gets to the drain the faster and faster it gets until it all begins to spiral, then it accelerates faster and faster yet again until it all completely drains away down the hole that's exactly what it all feels like... Well put |

History, The Now and The Future are all happening at the same time. Time is a construct of the HUMAN MIND and doesn't exist in the Spirit World. Indeed even scientist say there isn't actually any time according to quantum physics. It is mere impossibility. Our brains construct the concept of time but it is an illusion. Also time is relative, lets say your a fly that percieves world much slower than us so hes day is like a month to us. Time is not only relative for our senses but in space too. You cannot speed up something that is relative but you can only speed up a relation between times. |

This is why it probably felt your days lasted for ever back in elementary because you hadn't experienced time before and now you are more aware of it and seems to pass faster. Kids feel like you felt back in the day but time still has its 24 hour clock for us but your biological time speeds up each year that passes. Sucks tho. Enjoy life |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 19811792 United States 09/09/2012 12:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Can anyone else remember when they first learned to read time on an analog clock? I can remember being real young, and seeing analog clocks - and not yet knowing how to read them - certainly my perception of time has a particular frame at this point. I was obsessed with always asking other what time it was... Then, I can remember when I learned to read an analog clock feeling so empowered. I could finally keep track of time myself - I no longer had to ask others what time it was! I can remember playing a game, where I would try to feel what time it was, and then look at the clock and see how close I would be. Certainly my perception of time would move into a totally different frame at this point. Now I can feel again, my relations to time are totally different, this relationship is changing, and it is speeding up. I understand that time does not actually exist, but rather only our perceptions of time, and yes I will tell you for sure these perceptions of time are changing. So now, here is our question, what is it, in our perception that has changed, to make us experience time differently - this time seems to be universally perceived as speeding up. We can all feel it. |

A 24 hour day will seem to be about 16 hours or less. Remember the Schumann Resonance (or "heart beat" of Mother Earth) has been 7.8 cycles for thousands of years, but has been rising since 1980. It is at about 12 cycles at present. It stops at 13 cycles. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 19424931 I always find this quote about the proverbial "24 hour day feeling like 16 hours" really interesting because before I ever did any research into the possibility of time speeding up, this is the exact conclusion I had come to -- that if I had to try to quantify my experience, I'd say the average day felt like it had been shrunk down to about 16 hours. I'm just curious to see what everyone else's experience has been. For everyone who's been posting in this thread or felt drawn to this thread because something about it resonates with you, what does it feel like to you if you had to put an actual number on it? Does a 16 hour day feel about right? howdy |
