And, I add some time later...

The time in the last half hour of a long, long flight, is definitely slower in its passage than the time immediately after take-off.

Okay, I know this is true...

I got up on a Friday morning and got on the plane in Singapore at 8AM, flew for hours upon hours, and then got of the plane at 10AM Friday morning in Seattle.  It took me something like 18 hours to fly two hours into the day.

I went to bed as soon as I got home... and woke up some hours later, and it was still Friday. 

Getting a call from my daughter is cool, because I am hearing from the future.

Re: Okay, well...

LOL, Sira! Short people might, they don't have that far to duck from adversity...

Re: Ah the ever so present "Time Dilation"

Thanks, Rhisi, and no, I'm not getting into the Lorentz transformation and stuff like that, LOL! People are already staying away in droves, and they'll end up throwing clocks at me...

 I can't tell if you're good at this topic or know your stuff. However, you've presented alot of data in an interesting post!

Nautikos

Consider me one of these but I did read my friend.

"who tell me ‘it ain’t so’, ‘cause they don’t know what they’re talking about."

I don't know what I'd be talking about here. LOL

Okay, well...

Does this mean that short people will live longer? Because if that's the case, I'm going to outlive you all! 

It's the revenge of the little people...Muwahahaha! (surprise, surprise--the spell checker had no suggestions for my evil cackling...)

Ah the ever so present "Time Dilation"

Let us ask Lorentz - lol - here throw this and when it lands lets see what time it is. YAY I love your latest entry and I am looking forward to the continuation.

Reminds me of the joke we thought was so funny when we were young kids.

"Is your clock running?
Better catch it before it gets away!"
