Scientists have discovered why time is accelerating. Time goes faster than before

This is a reprint of an article from here: www.ostatok.net

A very interesting article that strongly resonates with modern times.

The idea of ​​the article is short.
Why did time begin to go faster? Our planet revolves around the sun and obeys the laws of gravity.

Losing mass due to the wild level of mining and water evaporation, the Earth is approaching the Sun, or rather the lighter planet is being pulled closer by the Sun.

This leads, firstly, to an increase in the average daily temperature, and secondly, to a change in the flow of time - the orbit has changed.

Temporal Acceleration Theory

The problem of the modern world is an acute lack of time. At the same time, those over 50 will say that before this shortage was not felt so acutely. There was enough time for work, for rest, and for doing something around the house. Now, literally, you barely have time to do the most necessary things. Why is that?

Many modern scientists have paid attention to the issue of the transience of time, or rather to the fact that it has begun to run much faster than before. The passage of time has been significantly accelerated. This problem could generally be considered fictitious, so to speak, attributed to the subjective perception of a person, if not for the theory of relativity of Albert Einstein, who in 1905, at the age of 25, revolutionized science and ordinary human thinking with his discovery.

He wrote: “Anyone who is seriously engaged in science is convinced that the laws of the Universe bear the imprint of a higher Reason, so superior to human ones that we, with our modest capabilities, must reverently bow before Him.”

The beginning of the 20th century was the beginning of a particularly progressive development and establishment of science. Einstein also made a significant contribution here. Once, when journalists asked him how he made discoveries, Albert Einstein replied: “I simply turn to God, who created all these laws, and ask Him how they work.” This answer was perceived by journalists as a joke, and indeed, it could have been understood as such, if not for the fact that the discoveries made by Einstein exceeded the limits of ordinary human thinking.

He wrote: “The more science comprehends the physical world, the more we come to conclusions that can only be resolved by faith.” The Bible says, “There is one Lord of all, rich to all who call on Him.” (Rom. 10:12) “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.” (James 1:5)

The special theory of relativity - STR, refuted the concept of constancy of many fundamental quantities, such as time, mass, length, etc. For example, in Newtonian mechanics time was considered absolute, it was believed that, as Newton wrote, it “flows in the same way, regardless of anything external " “The duration or age of existence of things remains the same, whether the movements are fast or slow or not at all.” Constant synchronicity of time was considered obvious in Newtonian mechanics and independent of different reference systems.

But in the theory of relativity the opposite conclusions were drawn. As a result of the experiments, it turned out that Newton's statements are valid only for special cases when two or more events occur in the same frame of reference. From the postulates of SRT - the special theory of relativity, it follows that time flows differently in different reference systems. If you put exact clocks with exactly the same time readings on different planets in space, you will later find that each clock shows a different time. Different planets move in space at different speeds relative to each other, and each planet is an independent frame of reference.

The duration of events will be shorter in the frame of reference in which the point is stationary. That is, a moving clock runs slower than a stationary clock and shows a longer period of time between events. For example: If you launch a spaceship into space at a speed equal to 99.99% of the speed of light, then according to calculations, if this ship returns to earth in 14.1 years, then 1000.1 years will pass on earth during this time. The higher the speed of a moving object, the slower time passes on it.

Time dilation was directly measured in experiments with chronometers placed on jet aircraft. This experiment was carried out in 1971 by two American physicists, J. S. Heifel and R. E. Keating. The experiment required two fully matched cesium clocks, accurate to 10(-13), that is, with an error of 1/10,000,000,000,000. One of them stood motionless at the Naval Observatory in Washington, and the other was installed on a jet aircraft , which flew around the world, first from east to west, and then vice versa. In both cases, a clear and well-measurable difference was found in the readings of the clocks standing still and the clocks flying on the plane. The difference completely coincided with the theoretically calculated value.

There is another confirmation of time dilation, proven with the help of muons. A muon is an unstable, spontaneously decaying, elementary particle. He has an extremely short lifespan of 0.0000022 seconds. Originating in the upper layers of the atmosphere, it moves towards the ground and is recorded by instruments. And here it becomes noticeable that the path he has traveled, that is, the length of his flight path, must correspond to a much longer duration of the time that he can actually exist. It turns out that moving chaotically in the atmosphere at a speed close to the speed of light, according to STR, the lifetime of a muon is slower. In this case, the muon’s own lifetime in its own reference frame remains the same, but in the reference frame of an earthly observer, the muon’s lifetime has changed and become longer.

But let's return to the theory of temporary acceleration. Why did time on earth begin to run faster? It is known that in order to slow down the passage of time you need to increase the speed, so to speed up time the speed must be reduced. Our planet had to reduce its speed. There needs to be a serious reason for this. And there is this reason.

American astrobiologists D. Brownlee and P. Ward came to the conclusion that the increase in temperature on planet earth is the result of solar activity, and it is due to the fact that our star is a young growing star. Expanding, the sun gradually engulfs our planet. This understanding is consistent with biblical prophecies, which say: “The fourth angel poured out his cup on the sun: and it was given to him to burn people with fire. And the intense heat burned the people, and they blasphemed the name of God.” (Rev. 16:8-9) It is also said: “The heavens will pass away with a noise (“They will pass away” - an old Slavic word meaning - they will cease to exist), and the elements, having flared up, will be destroyed, the earth, and all the works on it will be burned up.” (2 Pet. 3:10)

It is worth noting that mining production has reached fantastic numbers over the last century. Many billions of tons of oil, billions of tons of gas, coal and other minerals have been extracted and burned. They are destroyed forever, turned into energy that was wasted. If we take into account the oxygen burned and other factors, then huge numbers come up here too. The needs of humanity are growing, production continues and increases.

According to satellite imagery, massive melting and sliding of glaciers have already been noted, but the flooding of territories that should be associated with this does not occur; rather, on the contrary, the water disappears. Inland seas are drying up. As water vapor evaporates, it rises into the atmosphere, where it cools and falls back to earth in the form of precipitation. Probably, the supersaturated thermal masses, which always tend to rise upward, prevent normal cooling. In other words, we began to lose water, it goes into space. The total amount of material consumed by the planet has far exceeded trillions of tons. The mass of our planet has decreased by this amount.

According to the laws of gravity, any decrease in the planet's mass should affect its orbit. The attraction of the growing sun will act in increasing proportions to the two processes occurring. At the same time, the moon, the only natural satellite of the earth, will begin to gradually move away from us. The reason for this is the same laws of gravity. The fact that the moon is slowly moving away from us has already been noticed by astronomers. We are gradually losing it. Since its effect on the earth is extremely significant (high tides, low tides, etc.), a decrease in its influence due to its distance will lead to a number of natural disasters. A change in the earth's orbit and its gradual approach to the sun should cause an increase in average daily temperature and climate change. This is what is happening now. A phenomenon that is considered in the scientific world to be the “greenhouse effect”.

Several thousand tons of chlorofluorocarbon compounds are produced and used annually in the world. Once in the atmosphere, they are able to remain there for 60 - 80 years, migrating over the planet. It is known that one molecule of chlorine oxide destroys a thousand molecules of ozone. “Ozone holes” are formed. The ozone layer, like a blanket, protects our planet from the scorching sun, dangerous ultraviolet rays and solar radiation. The destruction of the ozone layer will also lead to an increase in the scorching effect of the sun.

The Bible says: “And there will be signs in the sun and the moon and the stars, and on the earth there will be despondency of the nations and bewilderment; and the sea will roar and be disturbed. People will die from fear and anticipation of the disasters coming to the world, for the powers of heaven will be shaken.” (Luke 21:25-26)

“Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look down on the earth: for the heavens will disappear like smoke, and the earth will wear out like clothing, and its inhabitants will also die.” (Isa. 51:6)

Year after year, revolution after revolution, our planet continues to change its orbit and gets closer to the sun. If you compare the solar system with a model of an atom, where electrons rotate at a certain distance from each other, around the nucleus, you can understand how the speed of the earth’s movement has decreased. Electrons that are closer to the nucleus spin slower than those that are further away from the nucleus. The closer a planet is to the sun, the slower it will rotate around it, slowed down by the more powerful gravitational field of the sun. As the speed decreases, time will speed up. It will just go faster. This does not mean that the day will become 23 or 22 hours. No. The smaller orbital trajectory is compensated by the lower rotation speed along this orbit. There are 24 hours left in the day, but they are no longer the 24 hours they used to be.

In each individual reference system, time flows differently, but it flows the same for an observer in this system. If 14.1 years passed on the spaceship, and 1000.1 years on earth, then the astronauts lived their 14 years quite normally, just as the earthlings lived their 1000 years quite normally. Being in different independent reference systems, they did not feel any difference in the run-up. Everyone lived their own time, the same seconds, days, weeks, etc. They lived according to the same standard of time - a measurement that uses a constantly uniform process, for example: the swing of a pendulum, the movement of a hand on a dial, etc. d.

The question arises: How then, in general, could one see and realize temporary acceleration?

Firstly: The change happened very quickly, in a short period of time - one human life. If this had lasted for 300 - 400 years, no one would have noticed anything.

Secondly: The change occurred within the same frame of reference - this is our planet.

Third: Change is still happening. Time continues to accelerate, and this acceleration is within the perception zone of our biological clock, which is forced to constantly adapt to the continuously changing regime of transience. The speed of the planet is now not constant; it continues to decrease. This year will pass faster than the last, and the next one faster than this one.

Every system tries to return to its normal state, that is, to balance, but the earth continues to reduce speed, increasing temporary acceleration. If the speed of the planet stops decreasing and becomes constant, the earth will take a certain orbit and the acceleration will stop. Time will go on as usual. In other words, the uniformity of the passage of time depends on the constancy of the speed. From this dependence it follows that time can not only be accelerated, but also slowed down if the speed constantly increases.

There is a speed limit at which time ceases to exist altogether. The limit at which time is zero. If we assume that even it can be stepped over, then we find ourselves where time has gone negative, i.e. into the past. But in this case, the speed should be equal to plus minus infinity, that is, it should be so enormous that it will be much less than zero. A speed that is so far ahead of time that it begins to catch up with it. At such speeds, no matter can exist.

According to calculations, when moving at the speed of light, the length of an object is so compressed that it becomes zero. No material body is capable of moving at such a speed. The speed of light is the speed limit for any material body.

All matter consists of molecules, molecules consist of atoms, atoms consist of nuclei and electrons, and in the end, all this division comes to the point that everything consists simply of positive and negative charges and even less, or rather nothing, from emptiness. However, all this emptiness, or vacuum, is nothing more than energy. The vacuum energy contained inside a simple light bulb is enough to completely destroy the earth. It is known from physics that the particles that make up any physical body move inside this body at speeds close to the speed of light. When we pick up any thing in our hand, we don’t even think about what movement is happening in it and how much energy there is in it.

The speed of light is the limit at which matter ceases to exist, turning into energy. When moving at the speed of light, any matter turns into light. The sun is a huge reactor where explosions of the greatest power occur. Sunlight is the mass of the sun thrown into space at a speed of 300,000 km/sec. Light is a stream of tiny charged energy quanta called photons. The elementary particles that make up any matter continuously move within its closed system at very high speeds close to the speed of light, but never reaching it. If any material body begins to move in space faster than the speed of the particles of which it consists, the system will “open up” and the body will “scatter” down to photons. When the speed of movement of a physical body exceeds the speed of movement of its own particles, a rupture of the closed system of this body occurs. This means that no matter can move faster than the speed of the particles of its components. Anything that starts moving at the speed of light turns into light.

Photons are the only particles that always move in space at the speed of light and do not have a rest mass. Photons at rest do not exist. The resulting photons can exist forever until they are absorbed by matter, that is, converted into material particles.

If two particles with opposite charges and equal masses, such as an electron and a positron, collide, they will both disappear in a bright flash of light. It is also known that light can turn into a particle: a photon can transform into an electron pair of an electron and a positron. When an atom transitions from one stationary state to another, one photon is emitted or absorbed, that is, light is released or absorbed.

In fact, it turns out that any matter is created from light, representing its lower energy level. Gold and iron are made of this light, as well as the bread that we eat. Everything is made of light. Energy constantly forms matter, and matter, being destroyed, gives birth to energy. This cycle in the Universe is constant. God created everything with His word: “He spoke and it became.” There have already been statements in the scientific world that matter is actually some kind of oscillatory waves similar to sound waves. By the way, the spectrum of light scattering can also be used to judge the sounds that come from matter. After all, they perform oscillatory movements that generate acoustic waves. But these same movements cause the play of reflected light. Therefore, the spectra of sound and light completely correspond to each other.

The energy reserves are unimaginable. From Albert Einstein's theory of relativity it follows that every kind of energy has mass, and that every matter, having mass, also represents energy. Expressing the relationship between mass and energy by the formula E=mc^2, where energy is equal to mass times the speed of light squared, we find that 1 gram of matter contains 25,000,000 kilowatt hours of energy.

Matter is like a repository of energy that is stored there until a certain time, so that it can be extracted again, creating more and more new things. But since the energy of photons always significantly exceeds the energy of the molecules of matter from which they were formed, such cycles constantly increase the reserves of matter in the Universe. This means that if you split, for example, an ingot of gold, turning it into light, and then create an ingot from this light again, you will get not just one ingot, but much more. This is very reminiscent of the principle of sowing and reaping revealed by Christ. What is sown will not bear fruit unless it dies and ceases to exist. We won't get more unless we sacrifice less. Speaking in parables, Christ revealed many secrets of the Universe. He told his disciples: “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the Kingdom of God, but to others in parables.” (Luke 8:10) God is the Creator. This is his essence. He didn’t just create once and stop. No. He continues to create always and unceasingly. Astronomers have already established that the Universe is constantly expanding.

Returning to temporary acceleration, it can be noted that since time depends on speed and any material body already at the speed of light turns into light, that is, is practically destroyed, then only beings consisting of light itself can step over all these limits and exist where there is no time . It is noteworthy that the Bible describes angels as beings made of light.

If our planet stopped and stopped all movement altogether, then time on earth would be more fleeting than anywhere else in the Universe, but we would not realize it. Of course, this will not happen, but time will go faster and faster. This may be a second, deeper understanding of the meaning of the words of Jesus Christ. Predicting future events, He said: “For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until now, nor will there be. And if those days had not been shortened, no flesh would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.” (Matthew 24:21-22) And the days will become fewer, and they will pass faster. The temporary acceleration that has begun is a signal that everything has already begun. The great time of trouble awaiting the earth is at hand.

Among all the civilizations of the Universe, God's creations, only one earth has fallen and lives in sin. The first earthly civilization was destroyed for its sins by water, a global flood. “For the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” (Gen. 6:5) Our civilization will be destroyed by fire. But before this, so many disasters will fall on the earth and such a time of sorrow will come, which the earth has not yet known from its very creation. “But for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened,” says Christ.

The simplest example of space-time relativity is a picture of the starry sky. Looking at Jupiter, we see what happened 40 minutes ago. If you look at the closest star to us, Alpha Centauri, you will see what happened 4.3 years ago. The light from the star Sirius reaches us in 8.8 years, the light from Capella from the constellation Auriga takes 46 years, Canopus - almost 200. In the constellation Orion there is the star Rigel, its light reaches us only after 800 years. If you point your telescope at a small patch of fog a little higher than the average star of Andromeda, this means that we are seeing the light of a new star system in another galaxy. More precisely, what happened there 2.2 million years ago. Right now you see not the present, but the past, in its various temporal distances. The picture of the present is created from pictures of the past.

According to the theory of relativity, we are all in a curved four-dimensional space - time. Where time is the fourth dimension of reality. Any movement is now recognized as a displacement in time and space. The four-dimensional space of our Universe is curved. Every point in this space is both the beginning and the end. Having left any point in space and gone around the Universe, you can freely return to the same point. But since space is four-dimensional and the fourth quantity is time, then, having left a certain point in time and going around time, you can return to the same point in time from which you left. If we could move along the fourth dimension, then walls would not be a hindrance for us. We would be able to leave and enter enclosed spaces without going through doors and windows. The Bible says: “In the evening, when the doors of the house where His disciples were meeting were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst and said to them: Peace be with you! They, confused and frightened, thought that they saw a spirit.” (John 20:19; Luke 24:37)

In 1943, at the height of the Second World War, A. Einstein participated in an experiment by the American Navy to create an undetectable ship. Using a powerful force field, scientists wanted to create a ship invisible to enemy radar. The destroyer Eldridge was specially equipped for the experiments. As a result, the ship became truly invisible, but then everything took an unpredictable turn, the destroyer disappeared. The ship moved in time and space. All this led to a series of very strange events, both with the ship and with the crew on it. Subsequently, this experiment was called the Philadelphia Experiment. At that time, Einstein was working on the unified field theory. This was supposed to be another breakthrough in physics.

Everything that was achieved was used primarily for military purposes. This was probably the reason why, shortly before his death, Einstein destroyed his last scientific works, writing in his diary that humanity is not ready to possess such knowledge and uses everything for evil.

Back in the mid-1930s, two Russian physicists proposed a theory that treated time as matter or energy. It turned out that time can be both absorbed and released by matter. Both scientists were repressed, and one was shot. The second physicist N.A. Kozyrev survived; while still in the camp, he continued to work on his theory. It is noteworthy that in the 1990s, a group of physicists from the Russian Academy of Sciences signed up to this discovery, officially recognizing it as valid and confirming it with a series of experiments. Now we can say that the possibility of the existence on earth of special zones with a changed course of time is quite real.

God said: “Call to Me - and I will answer you, I will show you great and inaccessible things that you do not know.” (Jer. 33:3)

God is ready to reveal to us much more than we want to know. The Lord, who has no change or shadow of change, is the complete owner of time and space. Time is in his hands like clay, with which he is able to do whatever He pleases. The Creator is Incomprehensible, Unchangeable, Limitless, Infinite, Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Eternal... One of His names is Existing, which means existing always now. Just as any point in space is always “here” for God, so every moment of time is always “now” for Him.

Meister Eckhardt, who experienced a meeting with God in a vision, wrote: “The uniqueness of the Lord lies in the fact that God is exalted above space and time. He lives in the continuous “now” and in the “eternal now”, where the past, present and future are fused together. For God everything is instantaneous. When we mortals talk about the past, present or future, it is because we are subject to time and think in temporal concepts associated with it. But for the Lord time does not exist. This means that God will not hear my prayers tomorrow, just as he did not hear my prayers yesterday. No. He hears all my prayers right now, both yesterday and tomorrow.”

“And it shall come to pass, before they call, that I will answer; They will still speak, and I will already hear.” (Isa. 65:24)

Time- a relative concept invented by people to designate the form in which physical and mental processes of life occur. Time is needed to measure life. But why does time pass faster as you age?

More A. Einstein said that time is an illusion, just like space. Psychologists also agree with the great physicist.

How can you find out what time actually is if the only one instrument of cognition – the human brain? The entire world around us is a subjective reflection of objective reality. The psyche determines the world and the passage of time. Personal life experience, consciousness, memory, thinking - all this is not somewhere outside, but inside.

If a person were flying at the speed of light in outer space, he would perceive time as if he were walking on earth, but year his flight would be equal hundred years on the ground!

Two people perceive the same event differently. The way a person is used to perceiving the world is the norm for him, he is used to living this way. It is difficult to imagine and guess that the world is not the same as we see it. A simple example: many people suffering from color blindness find out about it completely by accident and only in adulthood. For example, during a car driving course it is discovered that a person cannot distinguish a red light at a traffic light.

Physics belongs to the category of exact sciences, but the physical measurement of time does not match with the way the human brain perceives it. The psyche changes the laws of physics. Every person has their own internal clock.

When a person is happy, minutes pass very quickly for him, and when he is in a dangerous situation, the second practically stops, stretching out incredibly. An eventful period is perceived as longer and longer as time passes. When a person is bored, the hours go by slowly, it seems that the day will never end, but then, looking back at a series of such days, it seems that time has flown by very quickly and in vain.

These days, more and more people are noticing that time flies faster with age, and scientists are increasingly beginning to study this phenomenon.

Eat several versions, why time passes faster with age. The most common of them:

• the space-time continuum changes and accelerates,
• time accelerates as metabolism in the human body slows down;
• people in recent years have begun to perceive time as increasingly accelerating due to information overload,
• With age, time speeds up due to the fact that life becomes less rich in new experiences.

The latter version is followed by most psychologists.

Life cannot be measured by hours

The human brain concentrates and commits to memory new experience and significant events are more frequent and brighter than usual actions. The amount of time lived is not calculated in years, but in important events.

Psychologists have proven that the perception of time depends on what a person thinks, feels and does at the current moment.

In childhood and adolescence, a child learns about the world and himself. Every day he meets and learns something new, so the period of life up to 18 years always seems rich and long. Growing up, an individual finds less and less new things for himself, more and more repetitions and habitual actions. Routine classes turn into “gray everyday life.”

An adult lives "on autopilot" therefore, the brain “imprints” life less and less. At 5 years old, in one day a child learned so many new things that an adult would not learn in a year of life at 50 years old.

By doing something new, unusual, exploring the world, a person “turns on” the brain, which most of the time works in “sleep mode”. When activated attention, thinking, imagination, sensation and other cognitive processes, time seems to slow down. Why and why? To have the opportunity to assimilate information, draw a conclusion, and respond correctly.

It has been experimentally proven that in an emergency situation the brain works better. It is also known that in extreme situations time slows down. The body reacts to stress, the instinct of self-preservation activates the brain and it begins to work better. In a split second, in dangerous conditions, you can come up with a solution to a problem that would not be found in a calm environment.

Life– this is a series of lived events, not years. The more eventful life is, the longer it seems.

M. Keener scale

Australian designer M. Keener designed interactive scale, which explains how time perception changes with age. His project is based on the theory of P. Janet, developed back in 1897.

According to this theory, people perceive time relatively comparing him with the already lived period of life. How more years have passed, so Briefly speaking it seems like every next one year in relation to the time lived:

• at the age of one year, a person’s entire life is equal to one year, this is 100% of life,
• at the age of two, one year lived becomes 50% of life,
• three years – 33.3% of life,
• at twenty years old, one year is 5% of life,
• at thirty, one year is perceived as 3% of life,
• at ninety years old, a year is perceived as 1% of life.

At seventy-six years old, a year of life is perceived in duration as a vacation after the first year at the university.

I wonder what after thirty years the acceleration of life slows down and the perception of one year as approximately equal to 3% of life remains.

Thus, the older a person is, the shorter the period for him becomes a year. It is for this reason that subjectively older people consider the age of 18 years to be the middle of life and the best time.

The American psychologist H. Hershwild studied the phenomenon of procrastination (the habit of postponing even urgent matters “for later”) and discovered that a person imagines himself in the future as some other person. By postponing life for later, a person is deceived, thinking that it will not be him, but someone else, who will solve problems and live.

By putting off life, a person wastes time, and when looking back, it seems that life did not exist at all, it flashed by like an instant.

To slow down time psychologists recommend:

• make your life more eventful with bright, new, emotionally deep events;
• constantly learn and learn something new;
• feel and talk about feelings sincerely, without playing or putting it off “for later”;
• develop as a person;
• get out of your comfort zone;
• do what you love and find interesting;
• do not be afraid to change your life, to do what is unusual and unusual;
• do not be afraid to meet difficulties, fears, conflicts, changes.

You need to fill your life with life, enliven it, enjoy every day, appreciate the moments and not waste time!

Scientists have discovered why time is speeding up

In recent years, leading scientists on our planet have begun to notice that time is accelerating. And we increasingly hear: “It seems like I will never have enough time to get everything done” or: “Where does the time go?” Indeed, the years are flying faster than ever, and there is a scientific explanation for this.

We are rapidly changing, becoming more aware and turning to spiritual and personal development more than ever. Why is this happening?

Pulse of the Earth or why time is accelerating

Scientists discovered many years ago that the Earth has a pulse. This pulse or beat, similar to a heartbeat, has been steady at approximately 7.8 beats per second for thousands of years. However, around 1980, the Earth's heartbeat began to accelerate. Currently it is 12 beats per second, but the most incredible thing is that some scientists believe that the Earth will actually stop rotating when this pulse reaches 13 beats per second. It is believed that the rotation will stop for about three days, and then the Earth will begin to rotate in the opposite direction. This will cause a reversal of the magnetic poles, but what will happen after is unclear...

It is due to this increase in heart rate that we feel that time seems to be speeding up. Why do we “feel” like time is passing faster than before? The fact is that a period that was previously perceived as 24 hours now feels like only 16 hours. Our chronometers still measure seconds, minutes and hours. And they still mark a new day every 24 hours, but due to the accelerated heartbeat of the Earth, we perceive their duration as 2/3 of normal, or as 16 ordinary hours.

It is thanks to the compression of time that many people (perhaps without even realizing the true reason) turn on the path to spiritual development, moving away from materialism. They feel the need to change their life and begin to do the right things for the soul. There is a great desire to share goodness, help others and thank the Creator for this.

From the “Unity” program on the AllatRa TV Internet channel.

Conversation between studio guest - Igor Mikhailovich Danilov, academician, professor, author of the vertebrorevitology method - with program presenter Olga Gorbaneva:

THEM.: - ...Over the past 12 years, time has actually decreased by at least 20 percent. I'm not talking about the fact that the stars began to fly faster or the second hand sped up... No, the second hand kept moving and moving. Right? And day follows night at the same interval. But almost every person, even children who were recently born, feel how time is shortening. If before a day passed like a day, now a week passes like one day. And what will happen next? So isn’t this something to think about?!

O.G.: -Maybe yes.

THEM.: - This is also the answer to another question for those who ask themselves. My opinion is this: people need to change - you shouldn’t swear, you shouldn’t trust in the One who will come, especially since people don’t see it, they don’t feel it. Therefore, there is no need to wait for someone to come and do everything for them. We need to act ourselves. We ourselves should extend our hands to each other, we must unite.

But if people are believers, they have nothing to share, because God is one for everyone. And it makes no difference what languages ​​people speak here in this world. There they will speak the same language. And it is true. We can always find reconciliation in this.

O.G.: Without a doubt!

As a child, three months of summer vacation seem like an eternity. And as soon as we grow up, whole years fly by, before we even have time to blink an eye. However, time as such does not change, no matter how old we are. So why does its perception change so much in our minds? Perhaps the fact is that we are subjective creatures, and time flows nonlinearly for us? It does not move from point A to point B at a constant speed, but exists in several dimensions and can slow down or speed up.

We live simultaneously in our biological time and in the time associated with an event that is important to us. It’s all our brain’s fault, says neuroscientist Mark Schwob, who gives the example of a state of concentration when solving a complex intellectual problem. At such moments, time seems to pause: “Our limbic system, the center of emotions and sensitivity, temporarily turns off. We don’t perceive the world around us because the cerebral cortex only transmits vital signals.”

But strong emotions can also “stop” time. While we are waiting for our loved one, minutes turn into hours, but as soon as he appears, the sense of time disappears. The “mechanism” in this case is different - it is the limbic system that is actively involved, which produces a huge amount of hormones that literally intoxicate us.

Perhaps the subjective change in the speed of time is also associated with a change in the rhythms of our lives. “We have swapped the periods of rest and active activity: now we work in the winter and rest in the summer. But such changes require adaptation, which means an increase in stress levels, says Mark Schwob. “Stress hormones, cortisol and catecholamines, are increasingly produced by the body, forcing us to constantly rush and causing a feeling of lack of time.” In addition, time in our minds accelerates with age. The older we are, the more often we turn to memories and thoughts about the future - shortening the duration of the present.

Of course, neuroscience is not able to describe and explain the subjectivity of time perception, but it allows us to at least understand its complexity. Both from a biological and a philosophical point of view, the only way to slow down the passage of time is to be aware of it. By changing our attitude towards each specific moment in time and our sense of self in it, we open up eternity to ourselves.

Psychoanalyst's opinion

"Time speeding up is part of growing up"

Svetlana Fedorova, psychoanalytic psychotherapist, senior lecturer at the National Research University Higher School of Economics

“The idea of ​​time is formed in the process of growing up. The child gradually learns that there is a past and a future, and the present is noticeably reduced in his consciousness. The most important leap occurs in adolescence - disappointment as a result of unfulfilled childhood expectations. The teenager realizes that he will never become a knight or prince. From this moment on, the passage of time in his mind begins to accelerate.

In order to find our time, it is necessary to have internal boundaries that are laid in childhood and allow us not to experience excessive anxiety from the fact that we cannot correlate our desires with the reality of life. In a sense, we enter into a dialogue with time, define ourselves in time, fill abstract chaotic time with our own meaning and content. It is important that impersonal time becomes personal, and then we will live every minute of it consciously and with pleasure.”

Neurophysiologist's opinion

"Information processing slows down time"

Alexander Kaplan, Doctor of Biological Sciences, Head of the Laboratory of Neurophysiology and Brain-Computer Interfaces, Faculty of Biology, Moscow State University. M. V. Lomonosova

“There is no brain structure that would be responsible for the sense of time. And the question of time perception is, of course, rather psychological. Man is unable to objectively measure the passage of time. Neuroscientist David Eagleman conducted experiments showing subjects various images. Some of them were familiar to the participants in the experiment, and some they saw for the first time. Eagleman then asked how long the subjects looked at the pictures. It turned out that, according to subjective feelings, the subjects looked at unfamiliar pictures much longer. Meanwhile, the images were shown for equal duration. Obviously, the more the brain is busy processing new information, the subjectively slower time passes. That’s why the 10 years of childhood are so long, the 10 years of adolescence and youth are so short, and the remaining years, no matter how many there are, are so fleeting!”

Philosopher's opinion

"We trust watches too much"

Oleg Aronson, philosopher, art critic, employee of the Institute of Philosophy of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Institute “Russian Anthropological School” of the Russian State University for the Humanities

“When we feel that time is passing too quickly or dragging on endlessly, it is only because we trust too much in objective calculation - the clock, the calendar, and indeed - the orderliness of the world, where the past is followed by the present, and the future follows it. The experience of time and its understanding cannot be reconciled. For Augustine, time is somewhat like the divine presence: it is given without thinking about it, when you ask the question “what is this?” - it disappears. And according to Heidegger, we experience time only because we are mortal. It points us to our finitude; we experience it as a touch of being itself. For Bergson, on the contrary, time is expressed in the idea of ​​duration and connects us, cultivated and technologized people, with the variability of life itself, which does not depend on us.

Every time you have to ask: where is the place of time? Where is it in mathematics? Where is it in psychoanalysis? Where - in everyday life? These are always different images created by the collision of memory and expectation, forgotten and obsessive desire... It can shrink, making our existence mechanistic, or it can stretch indefinitely, revealing in us the capacity for madness and faith.”

Anthropologist's opinion

"Time depends on culture"

Marina Butovskaya, anthropologist, Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor at the Center for Social Anthropology of the Russian State University for the Humanities

“Representatives of different cultures experience and structure time differently. From the Datoga, the traditional pastoralists of Tanzania with whom I have worked for many years, you can find out exactly under what circumstances a person was born, but it is useless to ask the date of birth. They do not know their age, only classifying themselves as a group: child, teenager, young man, parent, grandfather.

They agree on the time of the meeting approximately: “at dawn”, “at noon”, “when it gets dark”. Important events (for example, weddings) are timed to coincide with the time of year - when the rains begin, at the beginning of the dry season... Further clarification follows: the ceremony will take place on the full moon or “when the moon has completely waned.” The day and hour are not indicated, but the datagi unmistakably understand when the event should take place. Time in the European sense is not important for them, and no one is annoyed that the event may start several hours later. Everyone is waiting peacefully and doesn’t understand why we Europeans are so impatient.

Ideas about precision, however, vary among industrial cultures, so having a watch does not ensure compliance with agreements. In Latin America, North Africa or the Middle East, an hour and a half late is acceptable. The person waiting is relaxing, drinking coffee, leafing through a book or listening to music. But in Germany, Sweden or Holland, being a few minutes late is already bad form.”

For the summer, as usual, we went to the village, to visit our grandmother. They lived in a small house built of clay and wood, almost completely deprived of everything called civilization. The evenings were spent by the light of a kerosene lamp, listening to fairy tales. How rich the world seemed then, full of secrets and beauty! It was as if I lived in some other time, was part of another story, open to eternity. Now time is getting less and less.

Scientists even began to measure the reduction in time. Although it is not easy to measure what serves as the measure of all things. For there is no state or movement in which time would not be present as an aching feeling of passing. And they came to the conclusion, by unknown calculations, that today 24 hours pass as quickly as only 16 used to pass. That is, we have already lost a third of our life time or half of the time during which we are in an active state. But not only scientists point to this - the fathers who labor in the deserts of the Holy Mountain, the hermits of our days, say the same thing: time today flows much faster than before, and it is difficult to blame them for psychological subjectivity caused by social changes...

The speed of all processes has increased, but, nevertheless, the time has decreased - the opposite of what should be expected is happening! Thus, contrary to all scientific logic, the ideologists of the theory of progress turned out to be big liars. Didn't they instill in us in the last century that scientific and technological progress would lead to machines replacing human labor and therefore more time? Yes, a washing machine makes a woman’s work easier today, but now she suffers much more from stress due to lack of time than when she rinsed clothes in the river...

In former times, people moved slowly, acted sedately in everything they happened to do during the day, during all the days of their lives. We started the day with morning prayer and ended with evening prayer; at the table they read the “Our Father” and did not begin anything without overshadowing themselves with the sign of the holy cross. That is, a person, at every time and in every place, found a free minute to say a word to God and, as an answer, to receive confidence in his soul that he was not alone. Although his life was difficult, with ups and downs (as everyone’s life should be in order to learn something from it), it gave him a feeling of completeness. It was existence experienced in its entirety.

Now everything is done on the run, so that we almost all the time feel deprived of the joy of the moment, imperfect in what we do and experience. And when you perform your prayer (who has the zeal for this), your mind is not there. He rushes forward, he faces the concerns of the present day or everyday life in general. And when you get down to something, it doesn’t even occur to you that you need to cross yourself, because you’re already thinking about something else - and in the end, it doesn’t fit into the environment. As if God should follow the world, imitate it, and not vice versa...

And so the person remains alone. Not only because God is no longer with him, but he doesn’t take other people, friends, brothers, spouse, too closely. This is because in running everyone has their own rhythm - in other words, when you are in a hurry, you are always looking ahead to what will happen next, hoping that the time will come when you will calm down. But life passes quickly and illness sets in, and death comes, faster than you expect, comes before this much-desired respite, not allowing you to calm down and return to yourself, back home.

But we can understand this loneliness this way: the rush, crazy rhythm and inescapable noise of the world in which we live do not allow us to hear the timid steps of another on the paths of our soul. Running somehow pushes us beyond our own soul. After all, the soul, just like a child and love, needs you to devote time to it. It has its own rhythm - the rhythm of deep and calm communication with God and other souls. A woman understands this better because she feels it more acutely.

And since the rhythm of alternating days and years of the society in which we live alienates us for a long time from the life of our own soul, we reach the point where we get used to this state and feel more and more as if it does not exist at all. That is why evolutionary theories take root in our country. In other words, we forget where we came from, we forget the native language of simple-minded love, the language of that landscape of the soul, which contained so many beauties and secrets. And often we die among strangers, unknown to anyone, as happens with a huge number of Christians, lost among those deprived of the right faith, like the Jewish people who enslaved the Egyptians for a piece of meat. God allowed this - maybe a person, looking at the material as a symbol, will understand what is happening at the level of the spirit.

The architects of the everyday landscape of modern society, the biotechnologists of humanity subordinate to the machine, imagined that a person, like a part, could be processed so much that it would reach the state of a robot. A programmable computer that will promptly respond to system commands. And they set about this project, almost bringing the Western individual to the given requirements. But still they failed to change human nature completely. Alienated from their own souls in a world of machines and information, people suffer without understanding why. Most of them do not even know that they have a soul. How then can they recognize her and understand her suffering? They are like a patient who has something in pain, who feels very weak, dizzy and completely overwhelmed, but cannot tell the doctor where his ailment comes from.

The suffering that most people experience and which causes many to rush into the whirlpool of all kinds of sins is closely related to that painful lapse of time, which no longer has enough patience for us. There is not enough because time no longer measures life with God - the source of time and life. This is a painful time that gives us a measure of alienation, exhaustion from running in vain. And the more we run, the more alone we feel. This is where the vicious circle begins. For the more alone we feel, the harder it is for us to endure the painful passage of time, which no longer finds its meaning and joy. So we start running in ever greater haste; we hide, like in sand, in work, in all sorts of responsibilities and troubles, and in the few moments of rest, when we are left alone with ourselves, it becomes even harder for us, and we start all over again. That is why television was invented - to satisfy this inescapable loneliness experienced by today's people, who have despised God to the point of complete oblivion and ignorance of Him. Television, newspapers, the Internet, sensations, erotica and violence, intense feelings, overflowing emotions - all this is to make us forget that our life has become too short and painful. We live as if we don’t live our own lives.

I ask you, stop for a moment in this race of emptiness. We need to find our lost time, get it back again. How? Going to the Holy Liturgy as often as possible. The time of life of our soul will be watered, like everything created in this world, from the grace of God, in this case - from the time of the Kingdom. Try this and you will see how your life will change.

I ask you, buy your time by standing patiently in confession. After all, sin is the main culprit in shortening the time of our lives. God does not give us more time so that we do not deepen the sins in which we remain.

Take time by stopping as often as possible during the day to say: Lord, have mercy!

Gain time by throwing away the TV without being afraid of “what your neighbors, friends and family will say”! TV is the largest chronophage (time eater: from ancient Greek χρόνος - time and φᾰγω - I devour. - Ed.) throughout the history of the world. On average, it consumes 3.7 hours of a person’s time per day. For older people and children - more, for teenagers - less. Do you feel like it's impossible to throw it away? But isn’t it easier to give up TV than to suffer because of the loss of such precious time in our lives, moments that go away and do not return, time in which you are still healthy, while you are still alive? Have you ever seen a happy person watching TV? Or have we forgotten and don’t want to know what happiness means? Then we deserve our fate...

We need to find time again, becoming as sensitive as before to the misfortune and pain of friends, relatives, neighbors and people on the street - and most of all sensitive to the voice of our own heart, so mournful, so widowed, as if we had died in a land of strangers, buried among worries and the damned pleasures of a life devoid of God.

I ask you, do not ignore these words - after all, we do not know how much longer God will tolerate us.
