The shortening of days is upon us
It’s simple. I remember the cadence from last year’s seconds, and I count them in my head with my stopwatch running. I counted 10 seconds then pressed stop, and guess what happened? It read 13 seconds. So it’s 30% faster than last year.

Algebra:

1.3x = 24 hours
24 / 1.3 = x
x = 18.46 hours

So, in 18.46 hours from 2018, you get 24 hours from 2019.
Because 18.46 x 1.3 = 24. Meaning today’s time is 30% faster.

Subtraction:

24 - 18.46 = 5.54 hours.

Conclusion:

Each day is now 5.54 hours shorter than exactly a year ago, with time increasing ever faster.

That’s all it takes, very simple. I’m sure you still remember last years cadence, or was that too long ago for you?

Re: The shortening of days is upon us
I’ve been experiencing weeks go by likehours... Thought it was just me? Like, it’ll be Friday, then seven days fly by, then it’s Friday all over again. I’ve experienced this before, back around 2008/2009. Days flying by like hours. Then it seemed to slow down again until now, but I think the OPis right.

Time doesnt exist ,not as its claimed to exist.


Time how understood is merely trying to understand changes .

"Oranges grow In X amount of time "

Time doesnt exist like you think, time is maths which is guided by unknown mechanisms . and is ever changing .

Time is the invisible maths non of us experience the same time, apart from the changes of the sun etc.

but that isnt really time thats merely changes.

Measure the day time with your watch , not just calculate what they should be from your brain time experiment.


Time isnt what you think it is.

Re: The shortening of days is upon us
it seems that as humans age their perception of time changes and it appears to speed up.

Re: The shortening of days is upon us
Time as illusion
Time is merely a perspective, rather than a universal truth. It’s a point of view that humans share as a result of our biology and evolution, our place on Earth, and the planet’s place in the universe.

“From our perspective, the perspective of creatures who make up a small part of the world—we see that world flowing in time,” the physicist writes. At the quantum level, however, durations are so short that they can’t be divided and there is no such thing as time.

That's a trip! I've done this cadence thing too, many times. I was VERY good at it. In fact I practiced it until I became very good at it. But I just tried it and was 3-4 seconds off (the clock was 3-4 seconds faster than my blind cadence count). So yeah, I agree. Damn!

A mechanical clock or metronome doesn't care. It ticks the same beat as it was designed to.

Does a centuries old clock still keep time?

5.54 hours is too precise for me coming from 1 reading from 1 persons personal counting. but overall id agree

Re: The shortening of days is upon us
It is true but you exaggerate the amount.

The Sun is losing about 6 x 1012 grams per second, and has a mass of 2 x 1033 grams. So the fraction of its mass it loses every year is about 10-13

less mass = less gravity

less gravity = faster timeflow.


rate change of time = delta t/t
this is percentage difference

where Delta t = t - t'
this is the difference in time

where t = t' sqrt{1-m'/m}
this is timedilation

where m is starting mass and m' mass lost

True!. My neighbor has a rooster and last year it sang every 16 seconds. Now the intervall is around 18 seconds. That's why I know every clock in the world is wrong.
