Time

[lilphil1989]

When you use your energy more wisely(manipulating it) you get more done in the same amount of time as before, but your also viewing it as saving time in getting the same amount of work done.

The two are equivalent.
Whether you want to think about how much activity you get done in a set amount of time, or how long it takes to perform a set number of activities doesn't matter.

Imagine you want to calculate the speed of something. You can measure how far it travels in a given time, say 10 seconds, or you can time how long it takes to travel a given distance, say 10 metres. Both given the same result (within experimental uncertainty).

It's as if you're saying "You're not shorter than your father, that's an illusion, actually your father is taller then you."

Taken literally, phrase "to save time" creates a paradox on its own.

It's to be taken in the same sense as "to save money".
If I save money on an item I have more to spend on other items than I would have otherwise.
If I save time on an activity, I have more time to spend on other activities than I would have otherwise.

The time we are taking about is the physical time, also represented by our sense of time which I believe is controlled by neurons firing of at a certain rate.

Physical time and biological time are not the same, that's why, for example, our brains fool us into ideas such as "time flies when you're having fun". Yes it flies, at 1 second per second as always
