I'm going to start a new thread because I can, so there.
It is said that time speeds up as you get older and the years seem to fly by. Who believes this to be true? Also why does time fly by when you're enjoying yourself but drag when you're not?

These questions must be answered and I don't have Stephen Hawkings phone number so who will oblige?

I did read a kid's book about Einstein a while ago but didn't understand much of it.

I think time flies as you get older
because you tend to do more and more stuff automatically, without thinking about it, if you are not careful this can become your whole life.

Drags when you're not having fun because you've got nothing better to do than think about it? I don't know for sure.

Interesting!
I also think that kids live in the moment more so maybe this makes time go slower.

Why?
The fact that time is relative to the speed and mass of the observer, means the observer's perception is taken into account and therefore why not their entire perception such as their mood?
(, Tue 26 Jul 2011, 14:44, Reply)
The observer in this example is a point of observation rather than a person.
Speed and mass interact with space time at very high speeds and very high masses. Like the size of suns and the speed of light. The tiny electrical charges firing off in our head do not manipulate space time.

Your thoughts are entirely the result of your brain's material existence. Although in this case that material would probably be better used for fuel or animal feed.

This is an opinion
One could equally hold that my brain's material existence is a product of my thoughts.

To put it simply: We know of the world through our perceptions, we have nothing else, these perceptions are a function of the brain, therefore our knowledge of the world comes through our brains. I would be quite surprised it the limitations of our brains did not affect our ability to perceive, and therefore our concepts of reality.

The universe exists when we close our eyes.
There's little point talking about philosophy and Einsteinian physics, there is some validity talking about observation in quantum physics but the quantum effects fall away when you're talking about any time changing scales of mass or velocity.
(, Tue 26 Jul 2011, 14:56, Reply)
Weak argument.
there are several other senses and if you successfully shut them all off you'd have no evidence that the universe continued to exist. You might infer from the fact that it was still there when you reconnected to it that is had always been there, but you could equally infer that the fridge light stays on with the door closed, but I don't believe this to be the case.

I'm not even touching physics Einsteinian or otherwise as I am ill equipped to do so which is why I started my post with "Speaking purely philosophically".

Microwave from chilled: 1m30

The extra 10 seconds makes all the difference.
(, Tue 26 Jul 2011, 16:03, Reply)
Sounds OK.
A chiller will be roughly 20°C warmer than a freezer. You'll be wanting to heat it up and hold it above a certain temperature for a short time. Say above 70 for 30 seconds. So you need about a minute to heat it up from chilled and a minute plus about 20% to heat it up from frozen.

They've probably done their sums.

Assuming this is right, is it mere paranoia that leads most supermarket 'ready meals'
to have 'from frozen' cooking times set at almost double the chilled ones, then?

I can't say I've dedicated much time to studying microwave guideline times.
But twice the time doesn't make much sense unless supermarket deep freezers are a lot colder than domestic ones.
