I have as the thread title pronounces, too much time on my hand. I have been trying for a long time to wrap my pea brain around the space/time concept. I keep coming back to a problem with time. Perhaps smarter minds than mine will assist. Here goes,,
As most of you have pretty steady jobs/careers, you go to work everyday and as if by magic one day you look up too realize you have been doing the same thing for a decade. Given certain circumstances one day can either drag by or fly by, all relative to the circumstance. Any idea what the magic is in hindsight?
We are all of us are on this spining stone, circling the sun. Could there be some type of connection to our movement through space/time, or is a chemical reaction in our brains that create the magic of hindsight?
Furthermore, I hope that the worst accident anyone here has today is a simple spill. The same effect happens in auto accidents, and probably all things unplanned. Your eyes see the coffee cup teetering on the edge of a coaster, and time seemingly slows down. I am thinking this is caused by an increase of adrealine to my brain.
Now in the amount of time it takes to spill my coffee, the planet hasn't moved as far as it did in the decade spent on my last job. Here is where things start to derail for me. I can't seem to see,hear,feel or find anything related to relativity. Once again I suspect my ignorance is showing.
