Relativity . . .


(from:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_relativity)
Concepts introduced by the theories of relativity include:

    Measurements of various quantities are relative to the velocities of observers. In particular, space contracts and time dilates.
    Spacetime: space and time should be considered together and in relation to each other.
    The speed of light is nonetheless invariant, the same for all observers.


MY theory of relativity, or maybe only my simple manner of summing up the same thing, is that time is perceived to be long or short relative to the age of the person perceiving said time period.  When you're very young, even the shortest time period seems to be very long.  Like when you're waiting for the arrival of Christmas gifts or when the age difference between you and that cute seventh-grade girl is so great it seems to be insurmountable. Whereas now, its difficult to believe you're really that close to retirement.
