I find time interesting. Humans invented time as a concept, invented how we globally measure time (modern day time keeping has the locomotive to thank for its inception) and how we control time (Daylight Savings etc.). As I rapidly apporach my 32 birthday I find that the years seem to pass by much quicker than they once did. There is good reason to this, it is because the years are much smaller than they once were. When I was one year old, one year was my whole life, which I will represent as a fraction of 1/1. One day was then 1/365 of my life. When I was ten, a year was now 1/10 of my life and a day 1/3,650. For me on May 3rd that same 365 day year will be 1/32 of my life, and that 24 hour day will be 1/11,680 of my life. See, time gets smaller.
I hope all is well.
Time is a fascinating concept. I wrote a lil bout it, well not really a lil...I find brevity in writing difficult: http://spovenweedlepresents.blogspot.com/2012/01/i-need-more-time.html
ReplyDeleteAnyhoo, I highly recommend reading Future Shock by Alvin Toffler.
