That is in-the-box as far as ya can get.

I didn't say time is in a box. I said time creates the box.

Peace, I have speculated upon the hypothesis you introduced here and did an illustration of a gravity time wave hitting the Earth.

It was about 7 years ago that I had a profound subjective experience that the fabric of time had changed. It was not the kind in which middle age makes time seem smaller as each year's experience becomes smaller against the whole of one's expanding life, but rather I felt as if a time shift had occured.

One can understand that time undergoes extreme shifts around black holes. At a certain distance from the event horizon time will seemingly stop if one looked back out to the rest of the universe.

It is my speculation that powerful gravity waves will change time like waves crashing upon the shore. When and where would this take place? It could happen outside a region where a new universe is formed by the collapse of supper massive black holes.

It just so happens that about 7 years ago astronomers "heard" the loudest explosion ever recorded in the universe. Its energy had the equivalent to the energy of our known universe.

Man, Don, you can put into art what I wish I could put into words. Beautiful.. Very, very beautiful.

btw, we didn't have to add a leap second this year!! (or a fraction thereof).
It seems the Earth did a slight relative speed up in its rotation.

I visualtize the Earth falling a bit in on itself as with the sinking of a massive area under the ocean which triggered the Indian ocean tsunami. Just as when a figure skater is doing a spin and by pulling their arms in closer to themselves - they speed up.

Here's another time dilemma that I've wondered about. Time appears to pass at different speeds to different individuals at times. An example of this is baseball. I played college ball and had times, sometimes weeks, where it was impossible to strike me out. Ball players call this "seeing the ball" but the reality was that things just seemed slowed down. It made hitting quite easy. Some people experience this during physical confrontations too. Is this the brain just shooting more pictures and giving us more data to compare?

It's the zone man, being in the zone ( whatever that means ) but I,ve been there myself, when every shot drops, every pass clicks and where the entire universe is compressed down to the playing field and you are one with it, sheer poetry when it happens.

It's really something, isn't it? Hard to explain to those that haven't experienced it. I think it happens to musicians too. How else do you explain these guys that play fast and clean?

It's the closest to an out of body experience I've ever had, without pharmaceutical assistance, that is.

The speed of light is constant [186000 mls/sec.] in a VACUUM.
Light speed [and time] are affected by gravitational force[an acceleration]. Time is constant only in a specific reference frame; a clock runs faster on an accelerating space vehicle than it appears to run as seen by an observer at relative rest. It therefor follows that it is possible to travel into SOME-ONE ELSE'S future---but never your own. Time SEEMS to speed up as you get older. A year, for instance, as far as this old codger is concerned seems to be as long as a month 'way back in the teenage days.
