“The significance of the passage of time, right? The significance of the passage of time. So when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time.”

Maybe Kamala Harris was on to something, or just on something.

To help advance science, I volunteered my clock to be part of the experiment.
But the humorless snobs turned me down.

We are now at 9.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000017 minutes on the dooms day clock. Talk about precision.

Time, you're not fooling me
You're something I can't kill
You're flying like a mighty wind
You're never standing still

Willie Nelson - Come On Time

Isn't it about time? Repeat after me: "4D"

July 3rd marks 40 years:

Release date -- July 3, 1985

I can't help but be reminded of a verse:

Matthew 24:33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

It's those gull-wing doors, I tell ya.

M
4D
LATIN CAPITAL LETTER M

M

The Hebrew letter that matches the Latin M is a mem, = 40

Mem (מ) is the thirteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet
Numerical value: 40
Sound: "M"
Meaning: 1. Water 2. Moshiach

Mem

40 (base 16) = 77 decimal, and "mem" is for mazel [מזל], which = 77

Lucky!

After a fortune on scientific instruments and staffing:
Our conclusion is “time flies” (tempus fugit)

Reference to line 284 of Book 3 of Virgil’s Georgics—
— fugit irreparabile tempus: “it escapes, irretrievable time”.

“It takes a lickin’ and keeps on tickin’.”

Interesting. I used to operate the time standard in the military using the Loran signal initially, then we got a Cesium clock. So topics like this are interesting. It’s one of the reasons I became interested in watches. One of my favorites is a dead-beat seconds watch that ticks perfectly on the second markers.

But time is relative, to position, speed, and a bunch of other things.
So any “accurate” time check is only accurate within that framework.
Planes at height and speed keep different “time” from their watchers on the ground.

Groovy discussion, but it really doesn’t matter much.
If it makes y’all happy, so be it

It’s just a jump to the left. And a step to the right. Put your hands on your hips...

Whatever the stated purpose or intention of this experiment, the final results will, somehow, be used as another factor in controlling every aspect of the peasants’ lives...
