Mathematical Theories of Experiential Time - The Nuhn-McLaughlin Theory by Dan McLaughlin
"Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. THAT’S relativity." -- Albert Einstein (Vohs, 217). Everyone knows that time seems to go faster or slower depending on what you are doing. It is also common wisdom that as people grow older, time seems to go by quicker.
