Time Accelerating

Watch this BBC documentary. This is the first of several. Try and stick with it and watch the rest.
There are many different types of time. As far as we're concerned the way we measure time, is with what is basically an abstract concept that has little bearing on real time...as you'll discover.
The idea of time speeding up is ridiculous to us because as far as we're concerned, time is relative.
In other words, if time was accelerating...we probably wouldn't even notice.
I'm no expert, but the notion of us entering some kind of 4th/5th dimension (or whatever theusedtool is on about), quite frankly, is bollocks.
