Mental how a day is longer than a year on Venus.

[Rincewind]

I noticed that with mine. A day early. Could be an American site but I thought they were 6 hours behind. Or they have not counted the leap year.

Makes you realise that time is entirely arbitrary - it's just a filing system we use to put our shit in order. A day here is just the same as a day on any other planet - it just depends on what measuring system you use.

The REALLY cool stuff happens when you don't live on a planet at all - if you live on a spaceship or something like that, far away from any gravitational body (planet or star). Then you actually age SLOWER (by comparison to Earth) because time actually does pass slower to you compared to back on Earth!

Time is an abstract concept.

[leicsmac]

Indeed it is - and when you look at relativity in a bit of detail you realise just how abstract it is.
