Time and the Speed of Light
#34
RE: Time and the Speed of Light
Time is relative.

That's all I know.

The way time seems to flow indicates that our minds interprets the flow differently depending on individuality. A minute can sometimes seem longer than an hour and an hour can sometimes seem shorter than a minute, though I honestly understand that the time differentiation is more incumbent upon memory than time itself. Memory is what makes the difference...sorry if this seems confusing and contradicts my premise. I am writing as I go along. Memory determines time differences more than time itself. How many times has someone stated, "It only seemed like yesterday" when it was much longer than that? It was not that the person was confused with time so much as the fact that the memory was more alive and vivid in order to interpret it as such that basically no time had passed.

Time is relatively dependent upon memory. Memory is the key.
