Does anyone know how to speed up time?

Question

Seriously, this day is dragging on for no reason. Does anybody know how to make the clocks go faster? Sadly, I'm at work, so "having fun" is simply not an option...

Answer 1

Since you asked this question in the physics section, I can only assume you want a physics answer...so that is what you'll get.

There is no way to 'speed up time' per se, but there is a way to change the way your reference frame ("you") experience it as compared to anther reference frame ("the clock").

Any object which is moving with respect to another (what we will call the "reference object") object will experience the passage of time differently.
So if you wish to make what one second seems to be actually be 1 hour to the clock, all you have to do is start moving...FAST, VERY FAST.....significant percentages of the speed of light, fast.

In every day life with every day speeds, these differences in the way we experience time is totally negligible, however, if you were to travel at....say...99% the speed of light, with respect to the clock at work, then what you experience as 1 hour would go by as about 7.1 hours on the clock (gamma factor of ~ 7.089).

Answer 2

Too bad about the "work" thing. My personal time machine is a good nap. I use it when traveling or get bored at home.

I settle down, close my eyes and when I wake up, an hour or so has gone by without my being aware. It works great. I get in an airplane in San Jose and when I wake up, I am magicly in Reno, or Phoenix, or in L.A.!

I used to be a debug technician. My job was to diagnose and repair printed circuit boards. From experience, I learned that more than 50% of the problems were bad soldering joints, or breaks in the circuit. To find these required a close, visual examination using a circular florescent lamp surrounding a large magnifying glass.

My trick was to lean my head against the lampshade while leaning over a board on the worktable. I'd close my eyes and no one would notice that I was sound asleep.

Except, one day, my boss came around and noticed that I hadn't moved in a long time. She walked around the table and bent down to look at me. At that moment, I opened my eyes to see her looking right back at me. She laughed, even though she knew she had busted me.

Lucky me.

Answer 3

I'm in the same boat as you! I usually play games... that makes time go a little faster. Or if not, I put post-it notes over everything that has the time on it. Then you're not noticing that time is not moving!

Answer 4

ok if cn find a vehicle dat cn go faster dan d speed of lite,den if u drive it do the direction where the world rotates in mre than light speed u cn go to future
dats means ur ahead of the clock,ur clock tiks faster!!!!!!

Answer 5

don't wish time to go faster, or before you know it you will have wished your life by, enjoy the now and the present, be productive, and you have the internet there are loads of things to do on the internet

Answer 6

According to Einstein's theory of relativity, it is possible to "warp" time by traveling at extremely high speeds (ive heard) , i also heard that large objects (also based on Einstien's theory) like black holes or suns can warp time slightly.

Answer 7

Start answering questions, time flies.

Orrrr.....

Don't do something that REALLY needs to be done by a certain time. Then the deadline starts coming up real fast.

Answer 8

Just work harder and the time will fly. I know when I am busy the time gets away from me and it is later than I think it is.

Answer 9

I'd love to slow it down seriously, life flies by too quickly

Answer 10

Turn the little round ball on the side of your watch to the right...lol
