time

time translates itself in random ways,
Therefore a language that we can comprehend(or read) but can't seem to understand.

There is a tempo
A fast travelling car is fast, a driver in the car is slow but he is as fast as the car can get. His heart thumps an average of 80, maybe 120 for the "going to heart attack", but is still locked in time. Engines spins as fast as 100km worth of revolution per hour. Still locked in time.

And the tempo is not 60bpm
Why is a day divided into so many subdivisions(24 hours a day) and y does it lock in so precisely?
If a full day were in measures(in musical terms) there would be exactly 21600 bars of 4/4(time signature) at 60bpm. Every single bar takes up 4 seconds. Then again it says nothing, i am just coming up with another rule to define time which in itself is fixed.
I can call a goldfish Bob, or Peter or even Ken but it never changes the fact that it is still a goldfish, at most it might change the perception of Bob if you had a friend by the name of Bob. Or even better, you might relate Bob with that goldfish.
In the same way, a day is named and 24 subdivisions called hours are given. smaller divisions into 60(called minutes) are given, even smaller divisions of 60ths(called seconds) are given.
and Why this way, perhaps there is no need for a reason.
I have a clock ticking in 240bpm just by my bed. And it is working the same.

By certain science fiction deduction, if we were to group time into more parcels, instead of having 24 hours a day.. we would have 48 "hours" a day running about a 24th major division clock, with still 5 units between each major division. Simply to say, my imagined 2 seconds is your 1 second. If i were given more parcels of time, would i feel like i have more time to spare in a day. Will our senses be more active to get more things done or will we give ourselves more "time" for normal activities.

I played(drums) slower when i play slow rock and i played faster when i play fast rock. One operates in 75, the latter in 120. I generally felt comfortable in both. My hands moved faster, and I think ahead faster. I might even have breathed a little faster. And i don't mean that i cut short the amount of time i have. I had more.

This has little to do with the universe
It is my perception that changed. The earth spins just as fast no matter how fast i move or react.
But i might think the earth spins twice as slow now.

Nothing changed. Stop reading if anyone is(now).
I am on a automated treadmill. I can only go forward while everything else revolves and decay.
God is real and everything has been planned even before i see it happen. It has been planned but it is not set. And i do not know the entire plan but i know whatever incident that has happened. Thats the interesting part i like. And if it is true, there is no reason for me to go back to where i was. It is set. What i can change is what is not yet set, not yet seen.

Sometimes watching a movie that we have watched before is fun even if we know what is to come. We often get nothing more out of the story. But if following through the process is fun, then it is the whole process that we need to revive to experience. If i had a device that could capture a beautiful moment in time.. all the spaces, lights, sound, smell and even my own physical condition and store it up, i would be time travelling and bringing my friends to the same "moments" that i treasure. And it will not be hard if we could start now. And it would really not be hard if it operates from our memory and recreates in our memory. A reason to live a dream. But not too long. Precious moments that might happen might just be lost as you tour another person's moment.

Dreaming away is me.
