Ever wonder where you spend your time every day ? What is a day?
Why is a day 24 hours ? Is it really 24 hours?
The fact that earth takes 24 hours is based off of earth's rotation. Do you believe earth is rotating? How do you know? Have you ever seen it rotate? Do you ever feel it rotate (unless you get 'new's that you didn't expect- ofcourse then the earth goes for a spin)
Do you know there are leap seconds? Do you know there is not exactly 24 hours in a day?
According to my friend Einstein ( any one who is famous and dead is my friend and you can ask them when you meet them!), the concept of time is an illusion and I agree. ( When was the last time you disagreed with Einstein and won?)
His statement is paraphrased ' When you are sitting near a pretty women and chatting with her (ofcourse you are married to her yet...) then each hour becomes a minute. If you are made to sit on a hot plate, each minute will feel like an hour'
What is interesting is the fact that there may be 24 hours a day in nature but you don't get 24 hours to experience and recollect every day.
Daniel Kahneman - a noble laureate points to the fact that the experiencing self is not the same as the recollecting self.
Think.. Some days are long, some are short, Years are short and minutes are long.
A week's vacation is worth 30seconds of memory in your head.
What is interesting is the fact that we all work with Time ,against time and along side time. The 4th dimension that Einstein tried to explain is not easy to comprehend for any mortal .
What time is it now? (Did you look for a clock?)
