Frustration of the commonly placid
The title, yet again, may be somewhat confusing to the reader. By placid I am referring to myself. I, and some others, would probably describe me as a relatively relaxed and not hugely angry chap. Nor do I get frustrated or annoyed by seemingly simple things. There is something however. Something that seems to pass every single person by without the third party even realising it. Something so simple, yet when explored in any great detail reveals countless complexities and confusing theories that even the brightest minds can't explain. I refer, of course, to time itself.
Older - They Might Be Giants
Now, as said in my first blog, I am not silly. I think it's best before we continue that you understand i'm not completely obsessed with the idea. Don't worry, i'm not losing sleep. Thanks for worrying though.
ANYWAY, above is a song which perfectly sums up what is happening every single second. That one line "You're older than you've ever been and now you're even older" is staggeringly obvious but, to me, fascinating.
So after hearing this song I thought i'd try and research the fourth dimension in a bit more detail. Big mistake. Stephen Hawking bombs in there, talking about his theory of time actually having matter, therefore having 'density' and then wormholes and really fast trains slowing down time. I soon gave up and tried to piece back together my broken mind which had been blown by the words of Hawking.
It's not so much the argument of whether time travel is possible that annoys me, which still is quite annoying, but rather the sense of lost time. I'm a lazy fellow and I love it, however sometimes I tell myself off for wasting time i'll never get back. I assume that's life though. Just like History, it's just "one fucking thing after another" and i'm sure the future will present much the same pattern.
I think the topic of this blog has become a bit vague. Ma bad. I'll stumble on through.
There is nothing in life that is a constant, an example being a light bulb which eventually will burn out or the battery of a phone which will run out. Time, however, is a constant (depending on whether you believe it's a man made theory) and no matter how hard you try, you can never stop time from progressing forward. It's probably in human nature to assume control over most things, however this is one thing that will always be completely out of our control.
As you can probably tell, i'm not a physicist so I wouldn't take any of the ideas expressed in the blog too seriously...
