There’s a Time Warp in my Shower

Much to my displeasure, my life at the moment is far too busy. So in order to allow myself more time to do the things I love such as pondering the mysteries, taking time to smell the roses, walking in the woods and drinking beer; I’m trying to get more efficient at doing those things I have to do (cooking, cleaning etc)

Now I do love a good shower, but it’s not at the top of my priority list. So in order to save time (and water) I’m trying to make them only as long as necessary. 1 or 2 minutes to scrub my bits, and another 2 or 3 minutes of ‘swaying back and forth with the water on my back’ time. And it all seems to be over in like 5 minutes. Yet when I step out guaranteed nearly half an hour minimum seems to have elapsed.

I also have a little spot in the woodland near my house which is very beautiful and seems to have a very high energy level. Whenever I go there time itself seems to stand still. I go there for what seems like most of the day and only an hour or two has past.

In various instances I also have noticed through conscious thought i can speed up or slow down time to a certain degree depending on what I have to get done - for example getting place in my car that would normally take 40 minutes I can do in 20 (especially if it's somewhere I want to be).

This thread is for anyone who seems to notice that time behaves differently – either speed up or slow down - in certain locations that they may visit.

Or those who feel they can affect time through either a conscious/unconscious effort of will

Time is constant, your perception is not. (at least time is constant for all practical purposes for you and I.)

Remember the phrase "time flies when you're having fun?" There's a reason we've all heard it.

Time passes quickly for me in the shower too - especially if it's a "just woke up" shower.

I think that most of us Men have experienced a time warp in bed at some point in our lives too! We think it has been at least 25 minutes but it only has been like 1!

I figured when the water turns cold, I'm done and the shower has served it's purpose.

I spent too many years popping 5 minute showers in truck stops and elsewhere to do that at home now. It's Hollywood showers all the way for this bunny and people know to move when I ask if anyone needs to use the bathroom for the next half hour.

I fully understand time is relative, and it's definately the morning shower that seems to take the longest

But then in that spot iin the woods I mentioned, the place where I feel most at peace, a moment can last an eternity......

HI OP Time dilation is possible and happens as a natural effect of Gravity. I have done my own research into it and found that the human body can effect the spacetime experienced by different clocks.



This can be applied to GPS systems to shift your location.

This reminds me of Carl Sagan's witty tale about the Dragon that lived in his garage.

link

"A fire-breathing dragon lives in my garage"
"Show me," you say. I lead you to my garage. You look inside and see a ladder, empty paint cans, an old tricycle--but no dragon.

"Where's the dragon?" you ask.

"Oh, she's right here," I reply, waving vaguely. "I neglected to mention that she's an invisible dragon." You propose spreading flour on the floor of the garage to capture the dragon's footprints. "Good idea," I say, "but this dragon floates in the air."

Then you'll use an infrared sensor to detect the invisible fire. "Good idea, but the invisible fire is also heatless." You'll spray-paint the dragon and make her visible. "Good idea, but she's an incorporeal dragon and the paint won't stick." And so on. I counter every physical test you propose with a special explanation of why it won't work.

Now, what's the difference between an invisible, incorporeal, floating dragon who spits heatless fire and no dragon at all? If there's no way to disprove my contention, no conceivable experiment that would count against it, what does it mean to say that my dragon exists? Your inability to invalidate my hypothesis is not at all the same thing as proving it true. Claims that cannot be tested, assertions immune to disproof are veridically worthless, whatever value they may have in inspiring us or in exciting our sense of wonder. What I'm asking you to do comes down to believing, in the absence of evidence, on my say-so.

Hey there fellow Aussie This post is so cool I've slightly altered my OP as I too have noticed that time can be affected somewhat by a consious effort of thought.

I believe you should test this.

You are claiming to know of locations where time is slower. It's easy enough to synchronize two stop watches and run one in a location you believe to be "normal" time and the other in the location where you believe time passes more slowly. You should limit the amount of time you run the stop watches to the average amount of time you normally spend in this location.

If both watches keep the same time you have proven that your perception of time is changing, not time itself. If the watches end up with different results then I'll buy you a milk shake.

If someone here truly can change the speed at which time passes through though or wizardry or whatever, please speed it up so this next 35 minutes is over and I can go home.

Time is all a perception.

Sometimes TinkerHaus certain things are better left untested. There are a number of instances where people with certain special gifts have come under the scrutiny of hard scientific testing and ususally nothing has been shown. Maybe they never really had this gift, and other times it may be something at a quantum mechanics level where things behave according to the expectations of the observer.

I'm as scientifically minded as they come, but for a few specific matters in life I prefer to live in blissful ignorance and just let what happens happen. Besides it looks like Shirak (see post above) has done a bit of testing for you.

As for your last 35 minutes............maybe you should take a shower

Yep please see the attached video above I do just that.

No offense to the guy with the stop watch video, but I have no evidence those watches weren't tampered with. We didn't see it carried out, there very well could be a problem with one stopwatch, or a delay in the wiring, etc. I'm in no way saying it's a hoax, just that we didn't see the stopwatches get wired for the experiment. I wear a watch and it keeps time perfectly with other clocks I'm frequently nearby. If my body alone can change the passage of time why is my watch always in step?

I don't mean any offense by this at all, I think it's awesome that you are doing your own experiments and trying to present your findings.. But I've never once considered a YouTube video "proof" or even strong evidence of anything. How many suns do we have again??

It must be really hard to keep a job and appointments with these little areas where time does it's own thing. Glad time is constant here in Frozenville.

One other thing real fast - If the passage of time could be manipulated internally (changing our perception) and managed well you could really have a huge impact on your own life. Imagine if all the tedious crap you had to do every day took what seemed like seconds? Imagine being able to stretch out a moment of bliss into a virtual eternity. Of course I believe for this to happen that "tedious crap" would have to be "enjoyable crap." Perhaps our perception of time has a lot to do with how busy our minds are?
I enjoy thinking about these things. Here's a good documentary full of mindfoods.

I love your title! Keep on warping.

Yes however in the video I show that the watches are perfectly synchronized by the trigger. Showing their starting and stopping times before beginning, showing synchronization. The device and times are visible throughout the whole footage for analysis.

The same trigger mechanism is used throughout the test and the connection type is shown at the beginning. As far as videos go there is not much more one can do to demonstrate. One could accuse another of tampering and cgi or whatever one wants to believe however there is the experiment done and documented.

you can stretch and compress time through visualization practice or even will it

be prepared for distortions in spacial perception though

In the epic 'Law of Attraction' thread by Skyfloating it is mentioned within how LoA can itself be used to accomplish this. Here it is mentioned how a car dent was mysteriously repaired. Later on in the piece it is explained to a degree by switching between alternate time lines, one where essentially the car was never dented.

The implications of this are that visulisation can be used to not only effect time in the present and future, but also in the past.

Here in the same thread someone mentions how they too can 'bend' time as I have noticed, specifically (like me) when attempting to get from one destination to another

in my opinion you are not altering the rate at which time itself is progressing, your are just speeding up/slowing down your perception of time. Speeding up your perception of time makes it seem like more time has passed because you have experienced a quicker and more frequent progression of events, so overall you receive more data over any given period of time.

Slowing your perception, makes time seem to pass much faster as there is less of a mental frame of reference for you to compare how often events progress.

This can happen at random or you can train yourself to do it. Also a sharp change in bio-chemistry due to intake of food/drugs could cause a change in time perception that you may not be aware of due to the subconcious nature of the change. but it is possible to also train yourself to be aware of the change in perception.

you asked for it. and i just had to deliver it'

Showers, water, connect to the grid. Quite a bit of contact or psi happens when your frequency is higher or just anyway, when your in the bath, shower, or doing dishes.
