But consider this: What if the speed of time COULD change, and there were a sense acceleration or deceleration? When we take off in an airplane, we get thrust back into our seat from the change in velocity, but in the middle of the flight we're happily unaware of going 600 mph faster than the ground below. In the case of time acceleration, it wouldn't be felt the way we feel change in physical velocity, but we may experience it in some ineffable sixth-sense sort of way. Ponder that!Teaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17114917153069870417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3036952414161550892.post-74418067454903456762010-09-03T08:14:58.111-07:002010-09-03T08:14:58.111-07:00You basically said all this, but there isn't r...You basically said all this, but there isn't really any sense in which time might speed up from our perspective, at least not locally in such a way that the seasons would actually seems to pass more quickly. Summer, like you said IS a certain length, technically it's the length of a certain number of a very basic physical process. It doesn't make much sense to say that this process might speed up or slow, except in terms of the same process in other locations. If a basic physical process speeds up relative to the same process in another region, in all probability, and perhaps necessarily so, the physical processes that give rise to our conscious awareness will also speed up relative the other region, thus there is some sense in which time would have quickened, but unless the divisions of these regions could occur locally we'd have no sense of any change and the seasons should always seems to pass at the same speed.Significantly Less Thanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00265997518251329803noreply@blogger.com
