Is time an illusion?

Is time an illusion?


According to theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli, time is an illusion: our naive perception of its flow doesn’t correspond to physical reality. Time seems to follow a universal, ticktock rhythm. But it doesn’t. Absolute space and time is a concept in physics and philosophy .

Time is slow when you wait .

Time is fast when you are late .

Time is deadly when you are sad .

Time is short when you are happy .

Time is endless when you are in pain!

Time is long when you feel bored.

Time is most beautiful when you are in love .

In the Special Theory of Relativity, Einstein determined that time is relative–in other words, the rate at which time passes depends on your frame of reference. Just as observers in two different frames of reference don’t always agree on how to describe the motion of a bouncing ball, they also don’t always agree on when an event happened or how long it took.

Time is relative; its only worth depends upon what we do as it is passing.

Albert Einstein

Professor Einstein’s secretary was so burdened with inquiries as to the meaning of “relativity” that the professor decided to help her out. He told her to answer these inquiries as follows:

When you sit with a nice girl for two hours you think it’s only a minute

 “When you sit with a nice girl for two hours you think it’s only a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove for a minute you think it’s two hours. That’s relativity.”

One of the most revolutionary concepts that we learned in the 20th century is that time is not a universal measurement. It doesn’t matter how much our lives are governed by the same seconds, minutes, hours, days, and weeks, regardless of where we live on the globe, time will never be absolute. The rate at which it passes depends entirely on your speed and acceleration at any given moment.

The faster a clock moves, the slower time passes according to someone in a different frame of reference. Time is relative even for the human body, which is in essence a biological clock. The effect of time slowing down is negligible at speeds of everyday life, but it becomes very pronounced at speeds approaching that of light.

People who use time wisely spend it on activities that advance their overall purpose in life. By consistently channeling time and energy toward an overarching purpose, people can most fully realize their potential.

Every time, time is determined by your feelings and your psychological conditions and not by the clocks.

Time is the reflection of our mindset!
