If you're bored time seems to stand still and if you're (Mind is) stimulated time seems to slip away like sand in your hand. I don't beleive time itself is effected though only your perception. |

Time is perceived by all of us - but our perception of it can change. If you wake up after a dreamless sleep, it may seem like hardly any time has passed. The same could be true with a coma. As Einstein said, an hour with a pretty girl may seem like a minute, but a minute sitting on hot coals may seem like an hour. |

This is why humans have sought an objective way of marking time for as long as history has been recorded; precisely because an individual's perception of time is exactly and solely his capacity to process information and is not dependent on any external constant whatsoever. Unfortunately, we are finding out that our perception of space is probably very similar to our perception of time; and so there really is nothing that we can look at as objectively constant as individual human bodies. |

Not to mention the theory of relativity. Time is not only changed by our perception, but it is in fact changed absolutely (clocks, etc. change as they speed up). If I throw something across the room, the time relative to that object has changed. An infinitesimal amount (that we can actually calculate), but it still changes. |

As I always say... "Reality is infinity, forget the finite figments..." |

Time is an illusion created by memory. |

Different cultures have different time concepts. America is so totally obssessed with time, the clocks rule our lives and we demand they do others too. Our time is fast paced and rigid. In other countries, this is not so. |

And experience it as a place to visit and play with reality.

this is a very good point Pensive Patrick. but I think time isn't real. It's not something that exists. We just use it because it's easier for us to organize our day. |

Time is an illusion. There is no such thing as time in the sense that it exists around us, or that we are moving through it. There is no past or future, only a now that is constantly changing. The reason we have the illusion of time is because of our ability to remember the way things once were. (ONCE) were. |

I think its all subjective personally, perception tells us how time feels, but my perception can be much different from an animals perception of time, or an insect...etc |

I know this is a little off point, but I just had an idea. Maybe somebody should try showing up for work four hours late, and when the boss bitches, say, "What? Time is subjective." |

You are dreaming right now.
Time is based of the rotation of the Earth. The Earth is rotating at a certain speed. One rotation of the Earth at a certain speed will always take the same duration (i.e. amount of time). Of course motion is relative and so is time, and while calling it an "illusion" is in a sense correct, the term seems to imply that it is false, deceptive or useless when in reality it's measurable, useful and practical. Weather that one Earth rotation "seemed" to take a long time or seemed to pass quickly is a result of your perception of time and not time itself. If anything is a misleading illusion it is your perceptions. |

Subjectivity: totally temporal? |

If you have a sense of caring for others, you will manifest a kind of inner strength in spite of your own difficulties and problems. With this strength, your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm.Dalai Lama
