Whenever I try to leave the house to get somewhere, time speeds up. Just getting to school in the morning, I'm often 15 minutes late or so.
When my family is going on a road trip, this factor increases exponentially. We left the house for Kansas (from North Carolina) at midnight once.
Obviously,
the solution to the problem facing scientists of how to achieve light speed is this: Find a really big family. Have them leave on a road trip for the other side of the continent. Meanwhile, the space shuttle in the back yard is within the Leaving The House Warp Factor field, but not fully. It takes off. The paradox between the two time zones will rocket it halfway to the next dimension. Especially if it's two families on a road trip together.

Could inspire a movie: "Home Alone in 5D" |

Hm. Rant as interdimensional physics. |
|

Not a rant, thank you very much. I merely find it funny how things that should take a few seconds take minutes. |

Getting there is half the fun ... then starting to get there must be a part of the other half ... Patience me buck'o', you will be on the receiving end of this complaint soon enough. |

if you want to slow time down, just look at the clock all the time. |

//They think they are providing 12-15 breaths per minute when it's actually 25-37, because of their skewed time perception in an emergency situation// aren't they trained to count or something? |

Yes, but ironically, they are trained to count as quickly as possible. 1missisippi2mississip3missi4miss5mi6m789... |

Tragically, I am allergic to apples. Doubtless I could get through a tennis racket to food I wanted, however. |

Good idea, SA. NASA should employ people to look at the clock, sigh, and then look at their wristwatches as well. It'll increase the paradox. |

What don't you buy, po? Ford will come out with a car that's powered by this any day now, I bet... |

poorly annotated, but i appreciate
where you're going with this. |
