Time is relative.
The faster you are moving, the slower time seems to move for you. For example, astronuats who spend months orbiting the earth in a space station at incredibly high speeds actually return to earth a few sceonds
younger than when they first left.
Have you ever heard the expression "time flies when you're having fun"? well, it really does. Time is relative, not only to your speed, but to how much attention you are paying to it, and what you
ARE paying attention to.
To make that sentence make more sense, think about this:
Lets say you are sitting at a table, staring at a clock. you are not doing anything else,
JUST staring at a clock, watching the seconds tick by.
Time is going to seem very slow, because you are paying close attention to it. you are counting every second that ticks by, and doing nothing else.
OR
Lets say you are playing your favorite video game with your pals, and youre all having fun, not paying any attention to the clock. Before you know it, five hours have past!
Time will seems to have gone very fast, because you are paying no attention to it. you are too engrossed in your gaming to care about the time, so time seems to have flow by.
Time is relative.
