No, but it flies much slower when you place a Temu order.

I read once that time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.

I'm retired. Lunchtime is most certainly not an illusion!

Time itself; it's all relative.

Fascinating business time!

Years ago, before I retired from running my small business I would work 9
hours a day, and some evening times, catching up on paperwork.
Also finding time to do all the household things a married family fella
needs to do, etc.

When I retired some years ago I found that despite not going out to work
for 8 to 9 hours during the day, now I'm even shorter on time than I was
back then.

There just aren't enough *days* in an hour to get all the stuff done. :-)

Same here. We slow down but time seems to pass much more quickly. It
"feels" as if I retired only recently but it's been 24+ years since then.

Time only exist for those who can see or detect changes. Either via
biological senses or via sensory tools.

It's a reference to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. If you
like simple humor that does not require you to actually engage your
brain, you may like it.

Instead of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxay, try reading Asimov, Einstein, and Hawking.

Not sure about Internet but Einstein's theory of General Relativity did predict that time travels faster as you go into the space. I suggest
do a research on Time Dilation in outer space or read these articles:

If I remember my Einstein...
Time and Gravity are inter related... "Gravitational time dilation" for example.

D.

Of course... Time and Tide wait for no man. ;-)

And...
Now is the Time for all good men to come to the aid of the party.

You could then ask, what time and where is the party supposed to start?

So inkeeping with the Gravitational time dilation theory, both would
depend upon how deep you were in the Gravity well...

I once heard that time is experienced as a part of your life so far. That
is, each year seems shorter than the one before.

Agreed. But one doesn't need to think too much when listening to,
reading, or watching it. Though I didn't care for the 2005 movie as
much as the series from the early 80's.

Yes, but THAT's a FACT.

I mean when you're One Year Old, that year has been your ENTIRE life.
When you're Ten Years old, that last year has been only one tenth of
your life.
And when you're fifty years old, that last year has been only one
fiftieth of your life, i.e. 2%.
And when you're seventy-five, it's bugger all!!
