Time is sometimes late

Did you know that?

It depends on our perspective.

In a way, we all experience this in our daily lives.

Don’t you sometimes look at your clock, thinking an hour passed, only to see that a few hours passed instead (usually when you are enjoying your time)?

And don’t you other times look at the clock thinking an hour passed, when in fact only 5 minutes passed (especially when you really want the time to pass)?

We intuitively know this about time — it can be misleading (and unfair).

Before I continue, I wanted to let you know that this time I decided to try something different with my article.

I thought, why not create a story?

Or even better, why not your story?

And by “your” I mean you.

So, this is the story about you and your new friends, Alexa and Alexie

And all the things you’ll find out together about time, movement, relativity and invariance.

I hope you enjoy it. So…

You met Alexa and Alexie one cold, dark night…
