Deep Story #99 | time is a mysterious thing | Tube & Berger

It disappears every second and you never have enough, yet at the
same time it is infinite … the time. It is given to you and taken
back, turns in a circle and yet always runs forward, can be
unbearably long at one moment while fading away too fast. It
determines our life and is still a mysterious thing. Or would you
have thought that the life of Cleopatra was closer in time to the
moon landing than to the construction of the Great Pyramids of
Giza? Time plays with our mind, although it has actually an
objective size.
Famous physicists have tried to unravel the mystery and have
managed to reduce the complexity into something which appears so
deceptively simple. You know, I count to 60 and know that a
minute has passed everywhere. But alas, this is not only
subjective – but also scientifically objectively – not the truth.
Time is hard to grasp, though it is actually measurable. But just
this fact makes it so incredibly precious to each one of us. So
moments can seem endless and a one-hour DJ set can become an
immeasurably long and epic journey for the mind.
