Do I have time enough to read this?

I recall an engineering textbook on measurements. In the fronticpiece, a breif remark about the measurement of time. We don;t what it is, but we do know, whatever it is, the older we get, the faster it goes.

In engineering, derivitives over time are ubiquitous. Accelleration due to gravity? Second time-base derivative of position.

No more birthdays? WTF!!

Time is based on gravity.
The more gravity there is the slower time is.
Time would STOP with enough gravity......................

I remember when I was a kid I tried to explain to my Dad that if I left Earth on a ship and came back Earth years later, you wouldn’t be able to tell how old I was. He scratched his head and gave me a weird look!

Yep - this will eliminate the need for a dynamics course in the engineering curriculum.

And "jerk" can only be used to describe certain people we may run into.
