The Speed of Time by Jake Johnson

May 14th, 2012 12:40 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Accelerate or decelerate an aging process.

In which I abuse toothpaste in accordance with Einsteinian physics.

Time is relative. Time varies in different places. Time is affected by gravity. In fact, your head is slightly older than your feet because of Earth's gravity beneath you. So I'm propping my feet up now to ensure they last longer, but I also accelerated an aging process while I was at it.

One moment.

There.

So I went into my bathroom and replaced my toothpaste. The old one had to go, so I dropped it into the trash can, bringing it closer to Earth's gravity and thus accelerating its aging process by a few picoseconds.

In between "One moment." and "There." I got up, reluctantly returned my feet to the ground, and went back to the bathroom. I picked up the toothpaste and hung it in the air for a moment, slightly decelerating its aging process. Then, I threw it in the air violently to generate a brief burst of accelerated time in its decelerated state. After one of my two cats realized it wasn't a toy, I took it downstairs and threw it away again, closer to the surface of the Earth. I then washed my hands.

So I decelerated an aging process, accelerated another, accelerated it again while it was being decelerated in the middle of recording it, and finally reaccelerated it.

I'm a temporal madman.

I knew you guys wouldn't believe me about throwing away my toothpaste, so I took pictures.

Clever. Smart. But not enough effort for any points.
I like your brain though

So I have to be clever and hardworking? But I'm clever so I don't have to be hardworking!

Be that as it may, this was pretty elementary. At least someone enjoyed it.

And my brain thanks you.

You dont have to use muscles to work hard, being that clever works the brain hard enough as it is.
