TIME AND YOU
Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.
—ALBERT EINSTEIN
“Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour,” Einstein said. “Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. That’s relativity.”1 A common experience that demonstrates the relativity of time is how the older you get, the faster time seems to pass. For children, summer seems to last a whole year long, which is a child’s way of describing that summer went on forever. By the time you’re in high school, it seemed like summer lasted two weeks. If you talk with people in their seventies and eighties, they will tell you that the three months of summer feel like a few days in their lives.
