“Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit on a park bench with a nice girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. THAT’S relativity!” – Albert Einstein
I live in Chester, Cheshire, England, UK. At Chester Cathedral, we have a clock with the following inscription:
“When I was a child I laughed and wept,Time crept.When as a youth I waxed more bold,Time strolled.Till I became a full grown man,Time ran.As older still I daily grew,Time flew.Soon I will find on passing on,Time gone.O Lord, wilt thou have saved me then?Amen.”
Red’s comments show that it’s a little more complex. Even in childhood, there are times when time runs rather than crawls.

Got the old 1960’s aluminum Christmas tree color wheel in use today.

Everthing goes by in the blink of an eyes except the time spent in school and the last year of work.

That explains why Einstein was an Einstein!

It doesn’t change for adults either, Red. Time usually crawls by at work too.

I guess he learned more than he thought in school if he knows about Einstein and relativity. :)

I love they silhouettes….gives such a feeling of, well, timelessness, I guess.

I recognize the time since I was around Red’s age then for real.
