Ever wonder why sometimes time goes fast and at times it moves so slow?

It is just your perseption like another poster said
Time moves more slowly the closer you get to the speed of light! Take a passenger airliner flying above the Atlantic at 650 mph? I know it's nowhere near the speed of light, but even at that speed time would pass slightly slower for them than it would for some other person that's standing on the ground!

LOL I meant on a normal day doing the same normal things

i don't accept that theory... when someone can tell me what "time" is and what its made from, then maybe...

...just like a vocal cord.
And as the Holy Bible says - God spoke all things into exsistance and it is His power that continually holds it all together.
Therefore the origin of time came from God who created it to point us back to Him so that we would know and glorify Him.

As far as i am concerned, religion and science can attempt to describe the same mysteries, a sense of moreness beyond the easily known. So it is a personal position that all literature is using a language that has been distorted too much, but which tries to talk about the same material that science does. It's just like a story book version. If the universe happens to come about some way by science, that is also described in a religious teaching, then cool, what a fit! It is likely supposed to be like that, science with a religious feeling...

But to say that time is an arrow pointing back to a creation act, like a hey, i was here, this is what i did, is beautiful, but what would that mean in hard language? That the arrow of time occurs when there is novelty, when the conditions for a creative act in the natural and physical sense are met? The idea is cute, but it would need more substance to be fully appreciated from a knowledge based side.

Onhot days, there is an increase in thermal energy on a portion of the planet. Pretty obvoius, right? But it may be something of a surprise that on such days the radius, the surface of the earth expands upwards more than a foot. The whole thing with dynamics in relativity is that energy, or mass (the conversion between the two makes them equal)effects spacetime behavoir. Spacetime equals the seat of causality, and the rate of time ticking by. So perhaps this extra heat energy actually slows down time by a bit. Minuscule, perhaps, but who knows what other energy factors come into play on a given day. Maybe a solar flux, cosmic wind getting through the magnetic sheild around the planet. Maybe it's just having a mind like nature. Neat thinking! Why normal conditions might change time experience is interesting.

Cuddle, I didn't read your original post first, but what if the perception is expanded into one that includes nature in it to, like that it was real... Maybe a bit too fanciful.

Moe, a state being a group of particles that at an instant has so much information, such energy and so on, and time as some effect that is accrued as one state changes to another, there is still the question of what lets time procede. What is it? It is true that here the particles aren't quatified in the energetic sense, or any- whatever... but first the time itself, that which moves the pieces in the changing process, that must be clarified.

So that's a second question, or version of the first. If not from whence exactly, then what allows that cascade to happen in the first place. What makes time allowable, that from it such change can develope?
