I had an interesting loss of time experience once.
[ link to www.godlikeproductions.com]
An hour disappeared somehow in the 3 mins between the truck & the house.
I was (obviously) an hour late for work (first time) & am still mystified about the whole thing...
Weird.
I'm a Christian, too, Scrump...I lost 20 minutes walking 10 feet back into my home..detailed in a previous post.
It is wierd. I don't understand it, though possibilities come to mind. |

This is a strange thing that happens with my alarm clock and 2 car stereos I have had...Didn't think it was that weird until I had the 2nd stereo put in.But all 3 gain time...They run fast...1 alarm clock and 2 different car stereos of a different make...Is this strange? |

It does indeed. Barring alien abduction or something similiar, the best reality-based solution was one a friend had, when she suggested I might have had a "silent" seizure, and just stood in the doorway unconscious for 20 minutes.
I don't absolutely buy that. No drool or anything else on my clothing, and the doorway (home at time was a cabin) was literally only 17 inches wide...I couldn't even pass thru it without turning, much less balance in it perfectly for 20 mins. |

I've heard that a roomfull of clocks will slowly adjust itself until every clock reads the same. But, that's like pendulum clocks, not digital.

Exactly what I wondered.
...did I actually zone-out sitting in my truck of standing?
For an hour..?
Would suck, if true... but that wasn't it.
Don't know what "It" was... but a 60 min fugue??? Not it.

I think you're right.
I've long been thinking about getting 3 watches, good quality, keep one on me, leave another one at a "midway" point in the day's mileage and leave one at home to act as a base timeline.
Also a good stop-watch, to mark actual time taken to go places.

I don't think I had a fugue, either, but it's comforting (in a wierd way) to wonder if perhaps I did.
I did have incredible "munchies" when I viewed the clock, though. I was planning supper, and instead ate two cans of tuna and a half bag of corn chips in record time, and THEN ate my planned supper. Not usual for me to eat nearly so much. My friend said that might be indicative of a "fugue", something to do with glucose levels.
Did you have "munchies" after your experience, Scrump? |

Yes, I just posted there finally. I don't care for Sorcha, though so it's hard to want to participate in that thread. I doubt I go back. This one is much more interesting, lol.

Signature of antimatter detected in lightning
Fermi telescope finds evidence that positrons, not just electrons, are in storms on Earth
By Ron Cowen
WASHINGTON — Designed to scan the heavens thousands to billions of light-years beyond the solar system for gamma rays, the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has also picked up a shocking vibe from Earth. During its first 14 months of operation, the flying observatory has detected 17 gamma-ray flashes associated with terrestrial storms — and some of those flashes have contained a surprising signature of antimatter.
During two recent lightning storms, Fermi recorded gamma-ray emissions of a particular energy that could have been produced only by the decay of energetic positrons, the antimatter equivalent of electrons. The observations are the first of their kind for lightning storms. Michael Briggs of the University of Alabama in Huntsville announced the puzzling findings November 5 at the 2009 Fermi Symposium.
It’s a surprise to have found the signature of positrons during a lightning storm, Briggs said.
The 17 flashes Fermi detected occurred just before, during and immediately after lightning strikes, as tracked by the World Wide Lightning Location Network.
During lightning storms previously observed by other spacecraft, energetic electrons moving toward the craft slowed down and produced gamma rays. The unusual positron signature seen by Fermi suggests that the normal orientation for an electric field associated with a lightning storm somehow reversed, Briggs said. Modelers are now working to figure out how the field reversal could have occurred. But for now, he said, the answer is up in the air.
Recording gamma-ray flashes — which have the potential to harm airplanes in storms — isn’t new. The first were found by NASA’s Compton Gamma-ray Observatory in the early 1990s. NASA’s RHESSI satellite, which primarily looks at X-ray and gamma-ray emissions from the sun, has found some 800 terrestrial gamma-ray flashes, Briggs noted. |

Is it exactly a human construction? Our understanding of it is human, we're still exploring it, just as we still explore and play with and use water.
Isn't time more of an experential reality, such as water is? |

Good one.
I'd never given this stuff much credence, until a couple of days ago...
I got up at my normal (6A... set 2 alarms) time & went through my everyday morning routine.
At 7:15 (verified on Comp. & Phone) I left, hopped in the truck, & then discovered I'd left something in the house... it was around 7:19
Walked back to the house, in n out, back to the truck (3 mins) hopped in... looked at the clock in the truck which was still running) & it was 8:22.... WTF?
An hour disappeared somehow in the 3 mins between the truck & the house.
I was (obviously) an hour late for work (first time) & am still mystified about the whole thing...
:freakkid:

Quite clear...like water is measured in cubic centimeters, tablespoons, pints, etc. All of which are human-devised units of measure. |

I've been aware of time and timeline whatsits for a number of years now.
Yes, once awareness has your head acceptingly wrapped around the fact that time and this (particular dimensional) timeline are indeed malable you can begin to have a built in radar when some high strangeness is playing out. Given experience one can actually feel it while it's happening, without having to look at a clock.
My friend and I experienced a pretty good time glitch the middle or so of Oct., and there's something mighty strange about yesterday, but yesterday may just be the product of incoming ELF waves. That time in Oct. though, pfht...no doubt about that one. That period of time had timeline crunching written all over it.
One thing I can say as an aware observer is that these time and timeline whatsits are happening more frequently, but not necessarily with greater intensity each time (my friend and I were discussing this just this morning given yesterday's little carousel ride).
As of yet I've not noticed rhyme nor reason as to why the intensity fluctuates. I don't question that there's bound to be many factors that play into such...hmmm, there's so much going on outside the closed system that is 3D that it's really hard to tell. HA! And that's not touching on what's happening compliments of TPTB. |
