Ok so I was sitting through this seminar (cuz that's such a fun and required class) and we had this speaker from NASA, who while he's very smart (i didn't understand very much of his talk because it was so above my head), he was totally uninteresting, until he said 'as time marches on'. What a stupid phrase from such in intelligent person.

well this got me to thinking about how time can't actually march, or drag or race for that matter. Change in time is constant, not time is constant, because it's not always 1.3e56 seconds from when the earth was created. But time changes at the same rate it always has. For years physicists thought that gravity all over the earth was constant, and for that matter they thought the whole solar system revolved around the earth because the planets movements seemed to reflect that. And hell, it turns out the earth isn't actually a globe, it's oblong shaped and spins on along an axis not parallel to the sun. Point being: there's so many things in this world that we were sure of from taking measurements, but slight differences between the model and data made us realize we were wrong.

For this reasoning, I must ask: What if change of time wasn't constant? What if your emotions do actually dictate how time is felt to you. The clock does appear to tick slower during class and waiting in traffic, yet hours can pass when I'm at a grocery store or Hobby Lobby without me realizing it. What if things like color of the wall or seeing new people, just having your senses change (like going down ailes of a store vs sitting in the same class with the same people). Does that mean that to make class seem more interesting, all i have to do is bring different lotions to class, or maybe put color in my notebook, just to break the monotony so time moves quickly?

I wish we actually lived in the Age of Enlightenment, (not the one from centuries ago) but the true one, when we as a human race (or at least me) have actual knowledge of these crazy things. Maybe I just need a few more psychology classes, but those were the thoughts I was thinking while the man droned on about Continuum Mechanics and how it relates to viscosity and laminar flow of non-compressible fluids.

Bottom line: Change in time is constant. Crappy.
