The next second you…

[Primus Inter Pares]

Live will be relatively shorter than the one before it. Every second that goes by increases the amount of time you have lived and thus the next second will be relatively shorter than the one before. Think of it this way:

A man is 20 years old (exactly): The amount of seconds he has lived can be figured out by these calculations:

20*365 + 5(leap years) = 7305 (days)
7305*24 = 175320 (hours)
175320*60 = 10519200 (minutes)
10519200*60 = 631152000 (seconds)

So the last second had a relative percentage of:

(1/631152000)*100 = 1.584404391*10^-7 %

While the next second after it has

(1/631152001)*100 = 1.584404388*10^-7 %

Which although not significant it is still relatively shorter than the second before it.

To the extremes say a newborn baby, the Second, Second will be half as long as the first.

Could this contribute to patience?

No, that just contributes to math.

But a more generic train of thought along those lines would work.

[Dazed and Confused]

Duh. Did you only just figure that out?

[Primus Inter Pares]

No :twak: Just pointing it out, it is good food for thought...

But a more generic train of thought along those lines would work.

Yes... my point, that is why I said "relatively" it is all about perception, you start thinkin that months are somehow shorter and such...

Uhhhh.....

LMAO. I love you just for that

[Little Miss Awesome]

I think I'm going to cry

[Dreddz]

me too

Math makes my head a splode.

[Leeza]

Dying might be worth it just so I wouldn't have to do that Math.

[Destai]

I knew that but I read it on a desk calendar.

If you fell into a black hole none of that would matter... because, you know, you'd be dead.
