I do my best to synchronize the clocks in my house to the time on
the atomic clock - the one that's connected via radio waves to the official one in Colorado. But the TV consistently comes up a minute ahead of my 'main' getting up clock in the bedroom. What would Uncle Albert say to that?

What Justi said to whatever you said!LOL! Actually, I kind of like Kabu's idea....if ONLY it worked that way I would be much more interested in this stuff. Remember how fascinating you didn't find the fantasy fiction story I was playing with for a short while and how interested you weren't in it...but tried desperately to find SOMETHING to say that was supportive, nice and showing you were paying attention? Well, Prof, that's how I am everytime I come to Science class.
with lots of apples on top!

Yes quite interesting Naut I did read a book once where the gentleman space traveled and came back just as he was about to beget his 22year old son. I don't know how the bedroom got in the act, I don't think the book sold many copies, no one would believe the Author.
Of course I would think that time is very much experienced by we uns, by what we are doing. Waiting in the surgery for the doctor seems to slow it right down, but some activities make it flash by not that I can remember any of those off-hand.
This is a good subject Naut, more interesting than reviewing the current fashions.To think that some may have spent a lifetime working it out and some may have never created the formula .

I like that "no response is a response" and I can handle the Pythagorean formula for a 90 degree triangle: a2 + b2 = c2.
But that's about it for today; I woke up with a painful stiff neck.

Time is so fascinating. It is amazing what Einstein was able to figure out, incredible breakthroughs he made and enabled us to thus make.

I'll have to come back in and read this when I get off the meds.

and Kabu came and went three times, hoping that it slows down the aging thing.
