Perception of time

Post Reply New Topic

Does anyone else feel their perception of time is very differnt from NTS?
I mean over years or decades.
This seems related to my exceptional long term meory but maybe also my impaired executive function.

Times goes by so slowly, and time can do so much, are you still mine? I need your love, I need your love, God speed your love to me.

As a kid, I saw time as a series of changing numbers. I remember actually watching the "numbers" increment by ones as time passed. In fact, the only thing I enjoyed about sleep is waking up and seeing the hours increment by 8 all at once, rather than watching them slowly change one by one.

Now I see it as simply something that passes as you live your life. The total amount of time is limited, so the goal is to enjoy the time you have as much as you can. So now, I don't see the hours incrementing by 8 all at once as a good thing.

For me, time goes by quickly- a little too quickly. Sometimes I think only a few minutes have passed when it was in fact two or three hours that just went by.

I can remember things like jobsites that I was on ten years ago like it was yesterday the whole thing what I did who was there what was said by who. When I think about most anything that interests me its like it just happened and I can't belive it was so long ago.

All time is now.

I feel like i've known ages compared to the normal NT, whose memory consists of what happened to them during now and the day before, and maybe the week.

I am a lifelong "clock watcher." I am almost always aware of what time it is, and so I can never relate to people when they say things like, "Gee, it is that late already?" This mindset usually makes the day drag more than I'd like it to.

Well everyone I know besides me is extremely busy, so yes. It's like, to me "soon" means in an hour or less, and if I know it's not that then at least in a few days. And if it turns out to not be that either, then it's gotta be within a week...right? Right?

Wrong. When some NT who's busy a lot says they'll talk to me "soon," that might be in a month or more. And it really really bugs me because I have no life.

For me time can feel faster or slower depends but has little to do with AS I think more my personal sense of time pasting. I do not like the sound of time pasting as in how clocks make a ticking sound or whirring sound. Have no ticking clocks only lcd displays and computer.

I'm not sure how to describe time.
My perception of time is like this: When I am thinking or imagining or if I am looking at a motionless object I often don't perceive time at all, in fact it would feel as though time has stopped or slowed down.
The same effect would happen when I am observing a distant scenic view.
Sometimes when I am observing something interesting I would ignore what is going on around me and concentrate on that object.


Now, here is the more important facts to remember about 'time'.

1) Time should 'not' be associated with the movement of the hands on your clock, after all what is the clock measuring?

2) In support of number 1, time is relative to the observor it is a consequence of Einsteins Special Theory of Relativity. To put it bluntly, the perception of time or the movement of the clock slows down when the observor in the ship travels closer to the speed of light (time dilation) Time is like matter, matter has a speed limit this being (the speed of light) and like matter light also has a speed limit (light constancy)
When matter closely matches the speed of light then matter would appear to slow down because it has effectively reached its speed limit of light speed. because light is constant and cannot gain extra velocity then matter like light also cannot exceed the speed of light. For instance, if Iwas traveling at the speed of light and I try to move my arm forwards in the direction of travel then that would mean that my arm is exceeding the speed of light, theoreticaly I would appear to look stationary due to the affect of maximum TimE Dilation, physically it would also be impsossible due to e= mc2.
Time dilalation in affect can almost preserve the rate of entropy or age on a person (twin paradox) were one twin on a spaceship would appear younger than his twin on earth.
The affet of time dilation can aso be seen on objects near a gravitational source (GPS reveivers have to account for timedilation all the time on onboard vibrating ceisium atomic clcoks).
Time dilation is also a consequence of length contraction (lorenzt lenth contraction).

I'm in a rush to wrtie this stuff ' 10 minutes on library auto logg off) sorry for the spelling mistakes.

Time can also be described as entropy or the increase in the disorder of matter, ie glass breaking, rusting of iron etc.
I've got to go I've got 1 inute to post this stuff!! ! AHHHHHHHHHHH
