Time Is An Interesting Concept

Have you ever just thought about time? It is kind of a hard thing to comprehend. There is a lot about time that we still have to figure out. When we think of time we automatically think of the present, the future, and the past. This is because that is pretty much all we know about time. There are so many other ways to think of it too, and so many other theories about it. Some think that the faster we travel, the more time slows down. Have you ever thought that maybe there is another option than just living in the now? Well on the website new.science360.gov there is a whole article on this subject.

                One of the things I learned while reading this article was that we may think we are living in the now but we really aren’t. When we tell out body to do something, it sends a message from our brain to that part of the body to tell it what to do. This could be a simple message like to think, or to move our feet. When this process takes place, it takes about eighty milliseconds to send the message from our head into our body. This means that we are actually living not in the present, but eighty milliseconds behind. In this article it also takes about how when you get traveling really fast, time actually slows down! Con you believe it? It is a very weird but real statement. Time is such a weird thing to think about and there is so much more we can learn about it.
