Einstein said in so many words:

"If you sit on a pretty girl's lap for an hour, it seems like a minute.
If you sit on a hot stove for a minute, it seems like an hour. That's
relativity"  

"seems" like a minute
"seems" like an hour


Sounds to me Einstein is refering to an 'inner clock', not an outer
clock.

Psycholocial time not

physical time.

to think the unthinkable, mention the unmentionable, say the unsayable, 
and challenge the unchallengeable.
