#669593 — "seems" like a minute

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.

And to think that some idiots took that idiot
seriously.

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.

But how do you measure if you're sitting on a stove with a girl on your
lap????

It's getting HOT! TWO HOT!! my clock is confused...


Einstein confuses me...I don't know when he is talking about his inner
clock or a outer clock?

Is the outer clock even aware of all this????

"What time does your dilation say?"

The outer clock sez, what do you mean two events happening at the same
time on my clock???? 


Do you wear two watches?

The flow of time is an...inner clock thing.

Psycholocial time, not
 physical time.
