Things you don't understand

[jtbo]

I thought that we could have nice time killer here, present thing you don't understand and others try to explain it with basic terms

I stumbled upon this and it really goes bit over my understanding:

So tap atoms to side and they travel in time?

Time flies

Maybe peoples perception of time is different, I've had days that have dragged for ever, and others ( usually when I'm not at work ) that have sped by. Time travel could be interesting though, cause and effect and all that....
I can just see VND transporting himself back to the Jurassic Period and dropping the Nut on a T-rex Just don't tread on anything...

I love philosophy in science. This is really cool but it's only working on one theory of many. I know of so many now, I don't know which one is more plausible. String no longer makes sense to me since I read into it, I believe more of the theory that time is like grains of sand piling up to create random events but that doesn't make sense either. But in that theory you can't go backwards...

Well, time is quite complicated animal itself, but it is not too alien in these, imo:

I stumbled to original problem while trying to figure out how traveller travelling speed of light would be affected by gravitation as speed of gravitation is speed of light, but while trying to fing more about that I found problem with arrow of time and Entropy which I failed to understand, but maybe I just need to dig tad more into it. No wonder my 360 is not progressing

10 years ago days were much longer, now days feel like minutes, I can barely get out of bed when it is already time to go back to sleep, my boss told me that it is normal and "just wait until you get to my age" Even time is relative.

I heard that as you get older time goes faster because of the mathematical equations behind it. Basically as you get nearer the end of time the perception is faster as there is less of it (like the end of a car journey feeling faster because you know how close you are)
