Time is relative until your run out of air while you are 120 ft. deep.

Then it becomes absurdly precious.

Time always appears abundant, even as it quietly runs out.

T-i-m-e is how your kids spell "love".

Are you still using tanks of compressed air, NetDoc? Have you tried rebreathers?

:/

I wonder if there are other "intelligent" beings on some other planet how they would measure time. More importantly I wonder if ever metric time would ever be implemented...however it seems almost impossible to implement if it was and would be very difficult to get used to...and probably have weird social implications...what would happen to weekends!!

hmm wait that went a bit off topic

anyway movement is proof that time exists

Seyorni,

Rebreathers can be silent killers. You can be breathing with your lungs full and die from hypoxia. One moment you are swimming and the next you are dead. No struggle and no fear, just an immediate blackout from having no oxygen in your breathing gas.

However, I will be taking a rebreather class this February. With much fear and trepidation as I am not sure that I could ever trust them.

Sorry, but could you explain metric time to me?
Am a making an obvious mistake or am I mearly ignorant of this system?

Though I wasn't aware of it at the time it was the editor of my book who was the one who brought it to my attention that whenever GOD spoke to me of time He never used human made constructs of seconds, minutes, hours, days or months. GOD spoke only of “moments”.
