What is this I don't even...

Wtf (article about how time isn't really constant...I guess) . I seriously don't know what to think about that, but it really is a fairly interesting read. I mean...I really would like to right up a concise, in depth analysis of how time affects us and this "relatively" (so punny) new finding impacts it, but I'm not going to even begin to pretend I might know a little bit about this.

The world really is fucking weird.

In other news, I woke up this morning to find a dead bird right outside my dorm, with 3 other birds sitting up on the roof chirping off about something. They seemed a bit suspicious...

  1. Rofl that's a pretty great article, I had no idea that even something as small as being a floor up changed the passage of time. I figured it was only if you were traveling at higher speeds.

  2. So... Say the 4th dimension is indeed 'time'. If you were a 4-dimensional being, what would that be like?

  3. Aye, seeing as how I work at PetSTORE, I'd say steer clear of those birds.

  5. Dammit einstein! I've been living upstairs all my life! Now I'm just going to have to live even harder to make up for this crap.

  6. Another fun fact; if you walk in the opposite way the earth moves you're walking back in time for about a second...

  7. I remember reading something about this on Gizmodo a few months back. What a trip, though.

  8. I thought this was already shown...I thought the only few predictions of relativity that haven't been confirmed was frame dragging and something else.

  11. The difference in the speed of time as one moves further from a highly gravitational body of mass, such as our planet, is for all practical purposes negligible from one floor to the next, or even from ground floor to the top of a skyscraper. I seriously doubt we are able to measure a quantitative difference given modern technology.

  12. The birds are trying to frame you mate.

  13. Firstly, all that time inconsistency stuff is mighty interesting. Secondly, was the dead bird like sitting RIGHT outside your dorm? If so, I would worry about what message the bird mafia was trying to send.
