my parents have been in hawaii for 2 weeks but it feels like it's been a month. I wonder if time is really universal, or if we all experience it differently based on circumstances

Yeah I frequently think that time is experienced differently by everyone. Especially because everyone I've ever talked to about it agrees that days were longer as a child than as an adult, and that time seems to speed up the older they get.

Weird enough, whenever a day feels long or short, everyone usually agrees... which is weird since we probably should feel time differently...

Time is a constant but our understanding of it changes and develops.

But yeah, we do all experience time differently, based on how well we understand it. As a child, not only are we still trying to figure out how to measure time but each experience is brand new and we take longer to process and make sense of it. Hence the whole "the days feel longer as a child".

Living an enjoyable life helps time to move faster for you. You're less bored and have things to occupy your time.

You're probably asking people that are experiencing a similar day to you... like your co-workers or a significant other, for example.

Theoretically time moves slower if there is more gravity.

The only fool bigger than the person who knows it all is the person who argues with him. They're all complacent sheeple. Passion fights, but reason wins.

I wonder if you need to be on the ground to experience this?

No amount of sleep is too much. The night just goes by too fast. I love dreaming and then being half awake (I wake up dozens of times a night sometimes) and thinking about the dreams and then falling back asleep and having more dreams.

I am a weirdo obsessed with sleep.
