Time Machine
Posted on: February 23, 2010
Time is something that has dominion over all of our lives. Even at the most basic level, we can all only count on being alive on this planet for a finite amount of time.
Time is also a concept that has been integral to many great scientist’s experiments and discoveries. In the 20th century, the brilliant Albert Einstein introduced his theory of relativity, a theory of which altered our own perception of the nature of time. Regarding relativity, Einstein once said, “Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. That’s relativity.” Of course had Einstein not been a Franken-science monster consumed by his work and his passion for uncovering the nature of the universe around him, he’d know the fallacies of his assessment of relativity. For many men, simply sitting next to a pretty girl for 1 minutes will seem like an hour, and you will sweat so much that you’d mistake your location for that of a hot stove.
Point being, given the relativity of time, along with the common fallacies of our own human perception, the smallest moments can be made to endure until the never-arriving end of time. For some, these moments simply continue in some form or another– appearing as echoes in our lives, our activities, our memories and so on, continually fading into obscurity and irrelevance.
For us at the crew, we have had to endure our share of these moments. What may seem like a science experiment gone bad is also a scarring experience for those of us who were directly involved, and those of us who witnessed the outcome.
