Talk abt werid..... (Time)

Haha.. brace urself, n welcome into my world... Here are some of the things i have tot abt for the past decade, n i feel that i shld share it with my friends. All these are tots, n are not based on any hard evidence, so dun sue me or anything if there is sth wrong w it.

Time is not a Natural Law. An example of natural law is gavity. Its been there b4 we know it, n it will always be there, unless sth damn big happens. However, time is not. I dun mean the flow of time, but i mean time as the unit we all know, in sec, mins, hrs, days, months, yrs, decades..... Here's a small experiement. Get a few guys, n make them tell u when they think a min is up. I bet my life that no 2 person can give u an exact timing of a min, at the same time, without looking at a watch. Its well known that time passes by 'faster' when we have fun, n passes by 'slower' when we dun. Try 15 mins in an examinton hall n 15 mins on a roller coaster. If u are me, either one will feel short, while the other will feel too long.

We base a yr on 365 days, n days on 24 hrs, an hr on 60mins, n so on. We all know once every 4 yrs a days is added into the calendar to correct the difference due to the difference bwt the rotation of the earth ard the sun n our humanly calculations. But are we really that accurate on our calculations that we can just correct the difference by just adding a day? Ur body has its own biologically clock, different from other people. Certain medication are said to prevent ageing, reducing 'time' from ur body's pt of view? Ur body is not 20, 30, or 40 yrs old becos of the number of rotations the earth has made ard the sun, but on the rate ur body is deteroiating.....

Most people have come across the sci fi situation in movies or cartoons that a person can speed up either by increasing its speed, or reducing the speed of things ard it. Its all relative. Time is relative. I dunno if that is anything to do with the theory of relativity, cos i know its abt time n stuff, but as i have said, i have no done any research on it, so its just purely based on hypothesis.

So wats the use of time? its to help organise things in our world. 'Lets meet on tue, 3pm at ....' n people will know what time to meet. When crossing time zones, things become relative again.... We do need time to plan our lives, make them more organised, but thats abt all time is useful for i think, haha... What im trying to say is time is useful, but dun place too much emphasis on time itself. Dun complain that ur bf is 5 mins late, or ur hw is 3 days due, or u are 80 yrs old n useless, or u are 15 n too young to know anything...... Time is an asset becos u have it, not becos u have used it....

Whoa, just Time itself is rather long already. i better save the rest for some other 'time' then, haha... Just look out for the title.... 'talk abt werid'
