Time Relativity

I'm taking my last final in physics tomorrow, half wishing I put my mind to use when it came to choosing majors. I would have loved physics. My favorite book growing up was 'Einstein's Dreams' which formulated fictional thought experiments on the workings of time in the same ingenious manner that made Einstein famous. Somebody once said that it is the duty as a citizen to understand how science works..I agree

k nuff slacking, back to quantum physics

The time you take to self reflect will save your future self an eternity of regret.

From my frame of reference these last 5 college years have passed with the brevity of 1 year. My 16 year old self looking at me now, 21, would see an eternity into the future. The time I've stayed disconnected is a half-hour to me and a half-lifetime to her. I've aged 3 eons since my dad passed, and a mere 5 minutes since my first love. My drive to work reads 15 min away but from my inertial frame it's an alternate universe 3 light years from my dream. To him we could be together till time stops but to me time has stopped, stalled, and other such stagnancies.

Funny how time itself isn't much but how timing is everything.
