Where does the time go?

Question

I've been on here for over an hour and it feels like 5 minutes.

Answer 1

Wish I had that problem, I have been here almost 8 hours and if feels like an eternity

Answer 2

It's called "time dilation"

Answer 3

If, as is often supposed, that time is the fourth dimension then your question is like asking 'where does left/right go'?

Answer 4

You should worry! I've just realised it's 6 weeks til xmas - and I thought we were still in March! Did we really have summer yet? If your hours are like 5 mins, that must be why my year seems like weeks !! Fancy helping me look for the brake so we can slow things down a bit??

Answer 5

your mind has been traveling at close to the speed of light!  slow down!!!!!!!

Answer 6

It flies when you're having fun, doesn't it?

Answer 7

Same with me...but my "behind" tells me when it's been "too long".!  Not long ago..my wrist started hurting if I stayed on too long. Yesterday I thought I'd only been on a few minutes..but I had been on an hour.

The kids can stay on Runescape for 12 hrs.( if we'd let them.) They really really don't realize how long they are on it. I think it "hypnotizes" them.

Answer 8

It does that on here, it's a desperate search for that defining question!  It wasn't here again tonight, perhaps tomorrow!

Only an hour?  I think your clocks stopped!

Answer 9

"Time" doesn't go anywhere, it is just a human construct to attempt to impose a linear structure on our experiences as we find it to difficult to deal with the reality that they are all happening at once.

Answer 10

Time flies when you are enjoying yourself.

Answer 11
