New time theory

[Gwylan]

I have observed that during the course of the day time moves at different speeds.

For example, I roll over the clock says that it is 0800. Nothing much doing until lunch time, so snuggle down for 10 mins

Next thing I know the clock is telling me it's 0930.

Suddenly it's lunch time and I should have started the pizza dough sooner.
Now a glacial ages passes waiting for the dough to prove and all that.
Put the pizza in the oven, it needs 15mins. Time to pop to the garage and check the bike battery on charge

Come back to nearly crenated pizza.

Post lunch, 1430, a snooze. Wake up, 1600, realize that whilst I was out the time bandits stole more than an hour.

Cup of tea, 1630, plan supper. Now it takes a lifetime to get to 1800 and G&T time.

Drift through the evening to bed time, 1100. Then realize there was an email I should have sent.

Next thing it's 0045 and I'm getting into bed.

Or is it just me?

 

[I like Skol]

Sounds about right. You are not alone and time is elastic......

 

[Shortandcrisp]

I believe a fella called Einstein had something or other to say on the matter.

Don't tell the boss you're snoozing on the job.

Don't tell the boss you're snoozing on the job.

Well she's so busy moving at speed of light that she doesn't notice.

Another thought, two in the same day!
Is there an entropy of time?

Answers, show your reasoning, in less than 50 wirds.

Time slows down hugely the second I step into the Dunelm store.

We went there for new pillows one evening. I swear I walked in a young man, but left the bent and worn out object I am now.

@Gwylan Seems to me you are stuck in a space time continium

I worked with a chap, after eating his lunchtime sandwhiches he'd tilt his chair back against the wall and have a snooze. I think there was only the one time we called the phone that was on the shelf right next to his ear

Settle an argument please:

Is midnight 24.00 or 00.00 or both?

Not bothered what timepieces do, just which is correct?

It's 24.00 for the first 30 seconds and 00.00 for the second

2400 of one day is equal to 0000 of the next. For instance 2400 Monday is the same time as 0000 Tuesday. But 2400 is mostly used as a military thing.

23:59:59 clicks over to 00:00:00 when it all starts again. For the sake of convenience 24:00 is used in some quarters but in reality it doesn't exist. No matter how much you subdivide those seconds, the last division clicks over to 00:00:00 not 24:00:00. Disregarding that each civilisation through the millennia has developed their own way of measuring time, as the units until relatively recently weren't even universal, which introduces more confusion, as well as the Earth varying its time taken to orbit the sun, and the time taken to complete one revolution about its axis.

As for time being elastic, I've always been a night owl, but when I've dragged myself out of bed extra early I always find I get disproportionally more done during the day than you would expect in terms of actual hours. So, if you want to have less chance of burning the pizza, get up early! You might still end up burning it, but the likelihood is apparently reduced.

I can't explain it. It's illogical, Captain. It's been known about seemingly for ever, hence the saying, "ten miles travelled before breakfast is worth twenty travelled after".

Time is an illusion , lunchtime doubly so.

a day in the life of a government worker?

Well thank you very much, if I'd got home half an hour earlier I'd have said that first.

All down to time again I guess.
