Time flies when you're having fun. It crawls when you're bored.
This would suggest that time is merely what we perceive it to be and that our perceptions can be altered by a number of things.
So why can't we make time last longer when we're having fun or merely enjoying ourselves?
Well... when you're bored, your brain generally isn't being stimulated & your mind notices this. It also notices the passage of time...and...how...painfully....slow...it...is..
However, as soon as genuinely interesting things happen, your brain shifts into gear and you become immersed in this new thing. Your mind won't notice this new stimulation. It just blindly accepts it & blam! time rolls along without you realising it's stupid slowness. In fact, it speeds up.
So time is dependant on our variable perceptions and we can actually control the rate of flow of time! It always goes forwards, make no mistake about that. In theory, if we were to become infinitely bored....we would also be able to slow down time to an infinitely slow pace. In effect, stopping time. We could also speed up time by having more fun!
Stay tuned for more bullshit science!
