    time may seem elastic- but it isn't. That I do know.

    Hence my use of the word 'seem'. Perception.

    Einstein would disagree.

    Time is elastic as explained by the theory of special relativity. Time dilates and contracts depending on the velocity of an entity relative to the speed of light in comparison to another entity.

    A proper physicist would explain it better, I don't really understand it myself.

    The concept of time also varies in different cultures, so could be considered elastic in that way too.

    Sorry. :)

    It spacial relativity not special relativity lol.

    And no I am not a physicist but Stephen Hawking is an idol of mine. He is a a genius and also as a great sense of humor too.


    As for having friends on Boards.ie

    Nope I have a big fat 0 but have sent friend requests. I just think other people don,t need or want friends on here.

    No, it's special relativity!
    In physics, special relativity (SR, also known as the special theory of relativity or STR) is the generally accepted and experimentally well-confirmed physical theory regarding the relationship between space and time
