It's sad because that stuff is nothing new just usually works in the other direction 😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We defined terms like Days in relation to the day and night cycle which depends on earths rotational speed. Claiming that's just imagination... well I'll call that imaginative.

Science hasn't find the answer yet. Some scientists think that time is an illusion and other don't... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtrnuno41 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 SO logically it is time to increase people on this planet, that is the main cause of all. This year Tsingtao virus? Last virus we also named after a beer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time on the farther edge of our spinning ball proceeds at a different speed to some place with less rotational speed as observed by that person. Our relationship to time does not change for ourselves, that is always constant. But we observe the speed of time for others change. If the rotational speed of the earth changes then the difference of speed of time for people at different speeds relative to us changes as well. Our relationship to time does not change for ourselves, that is always constant. Not so, When I'm having a good time, time always goes faster for me than when I'm bored.

When you are young a few months are an eternity but later you get thoughts like "another year passed?". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickudon Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 The article is pretty close to crap. Earths rotational speed only changes by about 2 milliseconds per century..... it does fluctuate, and did speed up a little bit, but is back to normal currently. https://www.sciencealert.com/earth-s-days-are-suddenly-increasing-in-length-mystifying-scientists And even that headline is not really accurate (read the article) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
