Time?

[Snakedoctor]

Time perspection is an easy one to work out. When you learn something new, it takes a while for the neural paths to lay down in your brain. Thus the first time you do something, the longer it seems to take to do it. Once you are used to doing it, although it takes the same amount of time, you perception of this time seems faster, as you already have the neural paths laid down. This is the same with life. When you are younger, each day is a new thing, you are learning all the time. As you get older, you have already learnt the day to day things, therefore time seems to pass quicker. That's my theory anyway.

That can't be entirely correct... since the present seems to be an eternity yet the past seems like an eternity ago.

I can remember last night, last week etc... but ask me what happened when I was 5... You may as well be asking what happened in the year 814

You can easily catch flies if you come at them from 2 different directions at the same time, it confuses them.

Now i've got some weird insect spitroast/orgy scenario playing in my head. Thank you!

Well (and I may be wrong)....
when we are close to the ground time theoreticly goes slower than when we are high up because we are further away from a large gravatational object.

Not sure if thats write or something I just made up

time remains the same to you all the time, you wouldnt be able to tell if it was slowing down or speeding up..

and its in relation to speed..

travel really fast like half the speed of light, and you will have a clock on you, which will say 5 minutes has passed.. stop go to your friend, his clock will say youve been doing that for like 7.5minutes or whatever thats not exact calculation, just so you get the point

The universe has a speed limit of Light Speed. You travel through time at the speed of light less the speed you are travelling through the Universe. Therefore, the closer to the speed of light you travel, time around you will seem to pass faster than for you. So the theory goes. Space/time is also affected by mavity, the closer to a large gravitational field you are, the slower time will travel for you relative to an object not so.
