The ticks per second thing is very interesting because of a something weird i encountered the other day - i suddenly realised seconds are WAY faster than they used to be.
I play music so have a pretty good feel for rhythm and i distinctly remember the clock in a family members house ticking each second being way, way slower as a kid. Slept there the other day and it was fast as hell. So incredibly weird. I'm sure my memory of the BPM is much slower than the feeling from today.
Sitting looking at the digital clock right now two seconds seem close to one as a kid.
- andai 3y agoI had the same realization a few years ago and it horrified me. Is it gonna keep getting faster?
- MyFirstSass 3y agoExtrapolating from my own case time seems to have doubled in speed from 5 to in my 30's, if that doubles when im 70, then when im 100 it's 8 times as fast, wow. I wonder what that would mean for life extension, imagine this exponential - then you'll get very little effect from living past 200 years: https://imgur.com/crLQUy6 https://imgur.com/crLQUy6 Pretty interesting thought experiment.
- red369 3y agoNow that you mention it, I think have noticed this too, but perhaps not to quite the same extent. Sort of joking, but sort of not, they seem to go pretty slowly while doing an exercise like the plank
- makz 3y agoInteresting just made a quick test and I'm off by around 30%, seconds seem to be faster by that amount.
