The shortening of days is upon us

Cool thread and fun read! It really does feel like time is speeding up.

Okay. You have my attention. Go on please.

So the Earth is spinning faster?

you mean like from Mat 24?

Just wait until September 20th and you'll see how the days start to get shorter.

Doom.

So the Earth is spinning faster?

"And unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days shall be cut short." — Matthew 24:22

Time to the senses of the natural mind is not comparable to those who exist outside of the realm of time and space, in the supernatural beyond our realm of existence, where God exists.

Even the mind can sense things of the supernatural, particularly those of us who are more sensitive to it and more importantly, "in tune" with it.

So the Earth is spinning faster?

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?

I've always thought that it's because the ratio of the time to your life span keeps getting smaller. For instance, when you're 8 years old, Summer Vacation from school seems like FOREVER! That's because three months is 1/32nd of your entire life. But when you're 60? Three months is only 1/240th of your life span!

And then there's the toilet paper theory, that as we get closer to "the end" the roll empties a lot faster!

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?
