The sun is the same in a relative way but you’re older.

I used to respect studies from places like Harvard. Thanks to the caliber of today's professor's and students I no longer hold them in any esteem.

And I'm sad about that...

Consider that now days at Harvard they teach that men can be women and if they choose that, it magically transforms them into real women and everyone should have to obey that ridiculous notion.

Yeah, they're a joke to me now.

When you get older, your skin thins out, and if you cut yourself or get a bruise, it takes longer to heal. It has nothing to do with how we perceive time. You also bruise a lot easier because your skin has thinned. According to a search, the term "thick skinned" relates to the skin being a protective barrier. I'm 78. I bruise a lot easier than I ever did in my life. I burned the area above my knuckle on my right ring finger while taking food out of the oven two days after Thanksgiving. It formed a blister. That's almost 3 weeks ago, and it still hasn't healed completely. There's a scab there, and is still tender underneath the scab.

A couple of weeks ago, I was taking dishes out of the dishwasher. A glass pot lid slipped out of my hands, the edge skidded down my left shin, leaving a couple of gouges, and eventually landed edge-wise just below my left big toe. You can still see the gouge marks on my shin, and I still have a dark bruise below my toe. The week of Thanksgiving 2024, I bought a frozen turkey and was putting it in my fridge. It slipped out of my hands, and skidded down my right shin, taking off about two inches of skin along the way. I think the damage was caused by the plastic netting they put the turkeys in. I still have a scar there.

I went to a Dermatologist to make sure that the bruises that I get on my arms aren't more than just bruises. He looked at them with a magnifying glass, and told me they were just bruises, and because my skin has thinned out, I'm more susceptible to acquiring bruises.

good post.

Langer’s results should give those reductionist types—who think medicine is a completely deterministic exercise in biochemistry and macro evolution, if they can think without that bias at all—some pause.

healers (of which some of the good ones are also credentialed medical doctors) know better. man is created a living, tri-part being: body, soul (mind, will, feeling), and spirit—which cannot be separated without death or effects worse than that. thus a real healer (and indeed The Healer Himself) will always go though the informative process of informed consent, ascertaining the condition of the body and the soul, before he/she contracts with the patient to attempt a course of treatment.

Time is illusory. It is measured by sequential events to mark its passing.

Posit that one lives forever. There would be no sense of time or sequential events which mark the passage of time.. Everything we perceived or tune into would be happening at the same moment.

It is likewise with these patiets and their varied recoveries. Thise who heal faster stretch time by perceibving fewer markers of the passage of time. It proves that time is indeed illusory, compressable or extendable according to the speed of light or the speed we subjectively perceive in certain instances. This also is in keeping with Einstein’s theory of relativity.

I wonder how that experiment would work with me. I have a clock in my body and can tell time within 5 minutes always.

Interesting article.

I think that a positive mindset is huge in healing, too.

After my first hip replacement when I was 40 years old, the doctor said that I had healed much faster than normal. I told him that nobody ever told me what “normal” was. If I had known, my body may have stretched out healing to fit into that timeframe.
