Well. Ya see. It’s like this.
Knowing that Penny thinks Professor Steven
Hawking invented time, I thought I would have a bit of a read of his books.
Definitely a smart bloke, although I suspect an evening with the Guild around a
log fire and a couple of glasses of red wine would make him see the universe
from the 90 degrees I look at it.
His book ‘A brief history of time’ is good
but misses a basic fundamental.
Understandable when you spend a lot of
time thinking about the universe and physics..
But, hidden away in the texts, there is
just a glimmer of what time really is.
It’s big. I mean big. Really big, bigger
than the biggest thing I can think of and that’s big.
When I said big, I should have said long.
Coz time has been going on longer than time it’s self.
Now, I’ve been thinking. I have often
wondered why weekends are so short and the working week is so long.
Well. It’s to do with time.
OK. My weekends are 65 hours long. But my
working week is 40 hours. Well I go in for 40 hours but we work flexi time so
it’s sort of when I turn up and may not be 40 hours. More like 35.
So why do the weekdays drag and the
weekends fly by?
Ah.Well. Ya see. It’s like this.
Time isn’t linear. It’s spherical, a bit
like a gold fish bowl.
Now weekdays are round the outside of the
bowl. They are the longest coz they are around the periphery. That’s the outside
where the glass is, for Guild members.
So its maximum distance, takes a long time
to swim round. So it doesn’t matter if you go round horizontal like. Or try to
be clever and go over the top and underneath. It’s still a long way round.
Weekends are in the middle. Between the
outside and the inside, so you can get to the other side, Monday, quicker than
if you went around the outside during the week, because the inside is bigger
than the outside.
Bit like a TARDIS.
Now, this is the bit we need to sort out.
In a linear way! Or maybe a sherical way!
How fascinating! Of which guild are you a member?
