What's up with time?

December 14, 2007 9:04:38 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
I know this is really random, but isn't that what this section is for>?

I've had an "ATOMIC CLOCK" for about six years and its always kept exact time as it was designed to do. Today it lost about ten minutes, and as of Jan. 23 continues to lose increasing amounts of time...

Perhaps the universe 'winked out' for a few minutes, and we just did not notice?

If all your clocks lost time, how do you know you lost it?

Could have been a glitch with the HF transmitter in Colorado. I have an atomic radio clock on my desk and it's okay. Yours should update to the correct time tonight.

Did you, by accident, try to reach the speed of light? That would explain a local loss of time...

What's up?


What's up is that it's a sure sign of Armageddon, that's what's up!

I suggest removing all sharp objects from pockets, bend over and kiss your butt goodbye, or head for the hills, or better still join "The Tyranny of Evil "http://metaverse.galciv2.com/index.aspx?g=empire&id=3046 (better to be on the side of evil when the time comes eh?

You must have played a computer game. Playing computer games will blast time into hyperdrive mode.

If you want to recover your lost time, you have to find somthing really booring to do, and then time will dilate in an effort to lenghten your boredom.

Good things shorten time, bad things lengthen time.

I've noticed that too. The faster you think, the faster time flows too.
The inverse is the same, slower thought faster time passage.

Agreed, Mystikmind

Also posting on this forum seems to burn time shockingly fast!

Anyhow, i discovered that putting a big clock right next to my computer screen stops time zooming off when i try to play games - as long as i keep one eye on the clock that is!

Hyper fast time is exactly like those quantum locked creatures in the new Dr who series - the ones that cannot move whenever your watching them, but as soon as you look away - ZOOM!

Dear JesanFafon,

My name is agent SideMancer. I am here to tell that there's no need to pay any attention to any perceived inconsistencies in the world around you. Just go back to your Galciv computer game. Don't worry about it. Isn't it much better to live in a fantastic imaginary world than a painful and boring real one..?

Ah, but isn't sleeping for the fantasy world? Otherwise, its mostly a waste. Sure it rests you, but what else?

Ahhh, Mr. Anderson, hehe, I think I've seen the first movie ten times. I just never get tired of it and it's permanantly stuck in my TiVo. Must be the green hue on everything

Yea The Matrix is a totally revolutionary idea for a movie, and the hyway fight scene in the second movie totally blew me away!

Oh and that soundtrack is brilliant - try playing 'Mona Lisa Overdrive' while you weave through traffic in your car on the way home from work!

Na, when i'm driving, i take the opportunities as they come to weave through traffic but i don't push the opportunities that are blatantly rude or unsafe like many other drivers do!

I understand that "missing time" is a frequent side-effect of alien abduction...

Actually I told a friend about this and that was his response, "You've been abducted by aliens!" ...

UPDATE: Time is starting to slide more and more locally, but I think i've pinpointed the problem. My new microwave oven is conspicuously close to the radio-synched clock i noticed the problem on.... doubt you care but I thought I might owe you an update... anyways... Moving clock soon as I find someplace more convinient to locate it...
