A lot of this is just pseudo science BS.
It does feel to me, like time goes by faster now than it did when I was a kid, but that's just a human perception thing. |

Time does seem to vary, or rather our perception of it does. Anyone who's spent time waiting in an airport departure lounge will know exactly what I mean.
Worse still...a Friday afternoon at work. This thread sucks...official! Now if he'd come on here with an idea for a variable time perception regulator...I'd be interested. Imagine an IPOD sized gadget with settings. A small pocket size contraption that would enable you to choose how your perception of how time passes by. Speed up it for work and queuing...slow it down for leisure time, weekends and sex. ![]() |

i don't know how relevant this is but time actually IS getting longer...in a sense. each solar year is approximately 1.7 seconds longer than the last one, due to the moon traveling away from the earth in its trajectory.
it's not much but i'm sure solar days were quite different a million years ago from the twenty-three hours, fifty-nine minutes we're accustomed to today.

isn't this a bunch of the same crap that was spouted at the start of that 'zeitgeist' movie that had conspiracy theorists peeing themselves in joy a while back?
either way, it's not the first time i've heard of something like this. i've also heard that time stopped in 1992 and isn't scheduled to commence moving forward again until 2012. we're in a 20 year transitional period where it doesn't really advance or something. all the people who've ever talked to me about stuff like this have all shared one common trait... a complete inability to believe any of their theories without having someone else patting them on the head and telling them they're 'right' like it somehow matters. if they truly believed what they said, why would they need to propagate discussion with others? |
