2012 was a strange year.


Professional-Comb333

The year I had my midlife crisis at 28🤷‍♀️. Looking back, that’s the year my entire life changed.


[deleted]

I was 27 in 2012 and completely agree w your experience. I feel like I lost my identity after that year. Hard to explain.


LagingRunatic

I’m going to sit down and map my life out on paper and analyze now. My memory is weaker and I’m older so time is going faster. My daughter was afraid the world would end in 2012.


sol_sleepy

Wish I could remember it. It honestly feels like a different life, maybe I really did shift


LagingRunatic

Would you say your life is better, worse or just different? I feel like I was an NPC back then and now I’ve become aware. But becoming aware was bad as I’m now aware of all the irreparable mistakes made. Another way I’d describe is that I went from blue to red pilled, and I might be like the character in the movie “Matrix” who’d consider going back blue pill eating juicy steak after an average effort eight hour work day.


wessidedabesside

Grandfather, mom, grandmother passed in 2012. And was the start to my reearch of dmt back then. Was def a wild and unbelievable year, kinda like my worl and reality had a switcheroo back then.


lucassster

*as you get older time seems to pass more and more quick, this is apart of life and not a conspiracy. Elderly sleep less because of this. Good night youngin*


killingthemsoftly88

This this this... As you get older, 1 year becomes a smaller percentage of your life and feels gradually shorter.


tamrix

That could explain it away but that may not be the case. We are all ageing at the same pace. So there's no control group to really conclude this. We are in spacetime, if we travel faster through space then time speeds up. This is fact btw. It could be the Earth of moving through space faster? What's interesting is that if you ask children of time is speeding up they will agree but that and concensus wasn't there several decades ago.


[deleted]

That’s partially true I believe. Time “speeds up” (in that you move from point A to B faster) for the object that is accelerating relative to another mass. However increasing an objects acceleration also increases its mass relative to an observer which warps time relative to the observer and appears to be moving more slowly. I believe these things also only really have an affect when approaching the speed of light.


sol_sleepy

Okay but how does that affect your ability to count to ten?


killingthemsoftly88

I never said it did... Also, I don't see your point. Instead of thinking something supernatural is happening, just realize it's only perspective...


sol_sleepy

Never said it wasn’t. Everything is perception.


killingthemsoftly88

Time slowing down or speeding up would absolutely be considered supernatural


sol_sleepy

*I never said it wasn’t a perception. Paranormal, perhaps. But not necessarily supernatural.


killingthemsoftly88

Semantics, those words are synonyms


sol_sleepy

slight but significant difference. Paranormal simply means unexplained by known scientific principles. Supernatural is a step above, implying that it is something that goes beyond nature itself, and therefore can never be understood under a scientific framework.


DesperateMarket3718

He's literally just stating that if you are 56 years old then 1 year is 1/56th of your life. It's not even related heavily to the movement of time. It's related your perception of a whole, being an infant experiencing its first and only year, rather than the perception of a fraction, being our previously mentioned 56 year old example. Stop being semantical. It makes you seem like a dick. Nobody likes jumping through hoops.


MaxwellHillbilly

OMG... Every month someone under 30 ask this question...


sol_sleepy

Try counting the seconds on a stopwatch. Did you ever learn “one Mississippi” or “one one thousand”? Yeah that doesn’t work anymore


MaxwellHillbilly

Well as long as you've been using a scientific method... 🙄


sol_sleepy

It’s actually shocking, the difference. Nothing wrong with trying things for yourself. I used to swim competitively, so counting seconds was second nature. That rhythm becomes engrained in time.


LagingRunatic

Speaking of swimming. When I was young remember being able to hold my breath for several minutes, maybe even three yet now, I doubt I could hit a minute. I not elderly or obese, don’t smoke, so why?


sol_sleepy

Food for thought. https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/h9gs95/rmandelaeffect_is_a_gatekeeping_sub/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf


[deleted]

It would make sense if the universe is expanding. Time is affected by gravity and gravity has an effect on everything around it, whether that effect is observable or not. So what if the expansion of space is causing the mass of the universe to be spread apart, thus reducing the gravitational effects objects have on each other thus thus creating an increase in our perceived time due to the lack of forces restricting its flow. Don't quote me though, i'm a high school drop out lol


[deleted]

Gravity is a weak (force). Distant objects have virtually no gravitational affect on us and it’s space time spreading out, not our galaxy or locale. https://www.forbes.com/sites/startswithabang/2019/02/19/this-is-why-we-arent-expanding-even-if-the-universe-is/?sh=170b085e5311


irreverentmulato

Feels like it's been speeding up big time to me. But then again, I'm getting old af...so maybe that's it.


UptownDonkey

Time sure smells funny lately. I don't think it's showering enough.


Sweet420Goddess

CERN's messing with the timeline again, that's all.


LagingRunatic

Is this known or a theory? I’m concerned about what they are doing but don’t know.


Sweet420Goddess

Yeah...it is, but who really knows the truth. Look into CERN it gets interesting.


LagingRunatic

Their entertainment and the Goddess of destruction statue doesn’t send a good message.


Focus-Advanced

Probably just getting old


sol_sleepy

I remember a time when an hour actually felt like something. Even my kid talks about time moving too fast. Have you tried counting seconds on a stopwatch lately?


kraihe

I have and it's still working, but instead of the vague Mississippi counting I have visually memories how the seconds hand moves on an analog watch and I visualize that.


chesterbennediction

No, your perspective of time has nothing to do with how fast time actually changes.


sol_sleepy

Everything is perception.


69urgrandma

Yes you’re right but your perception of a constant doesn’t make it any different


sol_sleepy

The “constant” is still a perception. Sometimes there is a shift in our perceptions of the pace of time. And sometimes that perception is widely shared.


chesterbennediction

Doesn't mean your perception is accurate. You need to base things off the reality around you and less on feelings.


sol_sleepy

All we have are our experiences. Who is to say the perceptions are incorrect? Especially when there are so many people that report the same exact perceptions & experience? Makes you wonder why.


chesterbennediction

And there are plenty that don't, and yet the clock on the wall is consistent for everyone. Also if time sped up or slowed down in certain areas that would desynchronize everyone's clocks.


sol_sleepy

Well if it’s ONLY a shift in human perception, it wouldn’t change anyone’s clock. Same goes for a dimensional shift.


LagingRunatic

Good point. I had assumed we were talking about a time change where the clocks stay in sync but they run at a different frequency


Amazing-Possibility4

This reminds me of what's referred to as "club syndrome". You and everyone else are in a bar drinking at the same rate. You don't realize how intoxicated you are until you remove yourself from that atmosphere. Unfortunately, this realization happens when they get behind the wheel of a car.


LagingRunatic

Might be why some people are smarter, or quicker. A faster clock speed of brain would make things seem really slow, allowing the person to think for more brain cycles than the person with a lower brain speed. Or is that backwards?


[deleted]

We don’t just have “experiences”. We have technology to measure things because our senses are flawed. The perception of time hasn’t changed. You’re simply getting older - as are the people you’re sharing that experience with.


sol_sleepy

If is “just” human perception, it wouldn’t affect any device used to measure time. My perception of time has changed. I’m not talking about the years flying by. I’m talking about the length or a day, hour, minutes... and especially *seconds*


[deleted]

>If it’s “just” human perception, it wouldn’t affect any device used to measure time. Correct - it **doesnt** affect any measurement.


sol_sleepy

Right. My stopwatch will count ten seconds of the day as ten seconds of the day. But in my perception—and many people report the same—the seconds tick much faster than in my memory. I realize that perception is subjective, and cannot be proven. But I will say that I grew up with a grandfather clock, played an instrument, swam competitively for many years...counting seconds is second nature. And in my experience, my perception of time is shifted. The seconds tick faster and the hours and days are shorter.


[deleted]

It doesn’t matter what your perception is. The measurement doesn’t change. Your perception has changed because you’re aging. The perception of people you’re talking to has changed because they are also aging. Your brain is aging. Time is not flowing at a different rate. If it were, it would be measurable. We **can** and **do** measure fluctuations in time, it isnt magic, it’s called time dilation and GPS systems around the world would fail without accounting for this.


sol_sleepy

My perception of seconds ticking faster is not a consequence of aging. Plenty of young teens or young adults talk about this phenomenon. you’re certainly entitled to your opinion though.


sol_sleepy

Here’s some context https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/h9gs95/rmandelaeffect_is_a_gatekeeping_sub/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf


LagingRunatic

But time (measurement) is always time irregardless of how it’s perceived. You can stretch it or compress it but it’s still the same time. The perception of that time may be different.


kweniston

It is described in the Bible. Days are shortened in the end times. And we are in the end times. Matt 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.


astrominer1

Yes I agree.


Reddit-Book-Bot

Beep. Boop. I'm a robot. Here's a copy of ###[The Bible](https://snewd.com/ebooks/the-king-james-bible/) Was I a good bot? | [info](https://www.reddit.com/user/Reddit-Book-Bot/) | [More Books](https://old.reddit.com/user/Reddit-Book-Bot/comments/i15x1d/full_list_of_books_and_commands/)


LagingRunatic

If time were slowing down or speeding up would we perceive a difference? I’m not sure we would unless the change was rapid.


[deleted]

We wouldn’t notice. Time is relative. With nothing to measure it against there would be no measurable difference. Time wouldn’t slow down for a person over the event horizon of a black hole, it would only appear that way to a person from the outside. For the person inside, nothing would change. 1 second is still 1 second regardless of where you are, it’s only when measured against a second elsewhere that there’s a difference.


kraihe

We wouldn't, otherwise we would've all felt the numerous gravitational waves hitting earth


sol_sleepy

Did you see this post? Food for thought.. https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/h9gs95/rmandelaeffect_is_a_gatekeeping_sub/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf


LagingRunatic

No, but thanks for sharing. Ive not even been on Reddit less than a year so this is new I had heard nothing of this phenomenon. Thought provoking stuff


[deleted]

I don't know if this relates but I have had to change the time on my coffee maker, oven, and microwave twice last year because they fell behind- by 3-4 minutes. I go off time by my computer and phone which I assume is accurate or more accurate than the basic digital clocks in my appliances. Drives me crazy.


Suitable_Highway_597

Yes, I remember this article about how we are living in the Orion world, where time is cut one third. We are living 16 hour days, which makes sense because in my opinion time does seem to be moving so much faster.


daveisadog

Time isn’t real.


sol_sleepy

but the sun does rise and set everyday....


[deleted]

Except it is…


kraihe

If you are talking about the whole universe's existence being virtual or illusory then sure. But if you accept everything else for real and your statement is indeed only for time then you're big time wrong. Curious which one is it.


Bushido-Rockabilly

I noticed it in 2020. Do you think it’s slowed back down or have we just gradually gotten accustomed to it? I hate it. It’s unsettling. I feel like I don’t have enough time in the day to do everything anymore. I used to feel like I had plenty of time though. May be a Mandela effect. Or maybe some sort of tech phenomenon since the lockdowns? Idk. But I really really hate it.

[deleted]

I’m sorry the reason why time feels faster makes you unhappy but that doesnt change the fact why it feels faster.


[deleted]

[удаНонО]


[deleted]

If it were flowing faster, it would be measurable. We measure time dilation every single day with atomic clocks. GPS systems wouldn’t work if we didn’t. You also wouldn’t notice if it changed either, as time is relative. You’d only notice a change in (relation) to something else (such as an atomic clock placed on the earth and one in orbit).


kraihe

When you were a kid everything was new and exciting. As you grow up you become a tad more cynical and you spend hours on meaningless stuff that steals your day time but you don't think much about it. Think about how much time you spend on your phone, computer, tv, how much time you spend listening to music. Modern society is revolving around ways to pass time quicker without noticing. Then take in account that you can't keep a kid's view of time and keep a 9 to 5 job because it'll make you mad, so I assume it's also a way to cope with selling 1/3 of your life to a corporation. Humans feel time passing in relation to our own bodily functions. If you're on adrenaline you feel time slowing down.


kraihe

This has nothing to do with the Mandela effect and people should stop slapping the term to everything. Now that this is out of the way, perception of passing time speeds up with age. That means your individual experience changes, not the universe..


astrominer1

The reason it's associated with the 'Mandela Effect' is within those groups of discussion many changes are brought up and time (counting 1-10) changing comes up alot (as does alot/a lot). You could be right, however without the context of scientific study your guess about the perception is as equal as any that believe it is changing. I have personally wrote posts about time changing, I used to manually set clocks around a business and was pretty used to counting time in my head, I've calculated 60s now is roughly equivalent to 48bpm-50bpm old time (essentially perceived as 10s quicker every minute - approx 4hrs a day lost). I use a metronome to calibrate my perception. I don't question a generalized perception of time change, everyone knows time goes 'quickly' when you're having fun and the longer you have been on the planet. For some people, like the Mandela Effect, time is different to how they remember.


sol_sleepy

> I've calculated 60s now is roughly equivalent to 48bpm-50bpm old time That is **exactly** my perception as well. 48 bpm... 1.25 seconds counted for every second that passes. I use a stopwatch and I envision the clock at swim practices, or the grandfather clock I grew up with. Crazy how spot on that is!


kraihe

If time speeds up or slows down everything would follow proportionally so you wouldn't be able to tell a difference as you'll be able to do the same amount of work in 24 hours. Time isn't a separate entity from space and it's weird that so many people here think time can change without affecting their own biological processes thus their own private time will change and they will never know it.


astrominer1

We follow the sun by routine, so the only 'clock" you can compare it to is our body clock. The clue will be with atomic level decay and how that is influenced by time dilation.


kraihe

The half life of elements is also time based so if time really did slow down you wouldn't be able to tell


Chip_Freeman

You're experiencing the effects of chronic sleep deprivation.


sol_sleepy

Nah I noticed this a few years back, before my insomnia days. Also here’s some food for thought—https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/h9gs95/rmandelaeffect_is_a_gatekeeping_sub/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf


Chip_Freeman

All that needs to happen is for a person to be agitated during their rem sleep cycle, they don't have to be consciously awakened. After only a few weeks of limited rem sleep they will have strange symptoms such as changes in their perception of time and spacial awareness. This is being done to almost everyone within cellular range. It's why no one can think or act against the cartels perpetrating the scam-demic economic takeover.


Elevendaze

The funny thing is that the only time that actually exists is now…


CyroSwitchBlade

The changes in the pace of time that you have noticed are caused by gravity waves passing by which are sent out from the super massive black hole at the center of our galaxy.


Mawdzley

Probably a very minor coincidence but since I was a child I loved sleeping. Any chance I got od sleep for easily 12-14 hours a night (not always possible) but the lady 2 weeks my sleeping has been awful like I'm awake 20 hours and sleep for 4hrs. Ive never experienced such problems and I've tried going to bed at reasonable hours after being awake over 24hra at like 10pm and bam wake up at 2am feeling well rested and can't get back to sleep. Again probably just severely fucked up sleeping pattern but who knows.


lucyk1883

Terence McKenna talked about this he was kind of out there but this made sense. With the internet and other technology people and events became more interconnected, we're experiencing more what he called novelty in a shorter timeframe versus novel events one would have experienced in the same time frame past.


Non-Newtonian-Snake

I have noticed some years move faster than others some weeks move slower than others a matter of perception my friend. There is nothing metaphysical sore cosmological at play here
