MINDFUCK TIME 🧠👌👈
Go look at the night sky and think hard about what you can see. 👀 You may realise that you’re not looking at space at all but, actually, time in motion. ⌛ The moon appears how it was 1.3 seconds ago. 🌖 Venus, the brightest object after the moon, was 3 mins 46 seconds ago. The sun you see is from 8 minutes in the past☀️, and Jupiter, 33 minutes. Outside our solar system, Alpha Centauri is how it was 4.4 years ago⭐, while a burst of light astronomers have picked up called GRB 090423 formed 13 whole fucking billion years ago, 🔭 9 billion years before our solar system was even a speck of dust. 💥

Bringing it down to here and now and the device you are reading this on is not in the present but microseconds in the past.⏱️ If we think about what we can hear, we are in even deeper shit.🙉 Sound is 875,000 times slower than light, which is why thunder is so much slower than lightning. 🌩️ Bullets hurtle along at triple the speed of sound so there is no chance of hearing the gun with your name on it.😵 You may have the sensation that you are travelling along in the ‘now’, but the trippy truth is, the world around us sits firmly in the past. 🤯

This brings into question what the fuck time is. If it exists, we should be able to measure it. 📏 Some bright spark worked out that if you counted close to 9 billion little energy transfers in caesium atoms⚛️, then you’d get so close to one second that you only need to adjust a clock every 1.4 million years.🕰️ Sounds impressive as shit.🤓 Practical, yes, but remembering that time is infinite, 1.4 million years means fuck all.🤏 We’re still way off from the real answer.🤬

Believe it or not, the smart fucker who probably first correctly understood time lived 1600 years ago.🥇 His name was St Augustine, and he was trying to work out how the fuck God put the universe together. 🛠️ It is complex shit - modern quantum theories look like they are circling back to his ideas. 🔁 Put simply, the way we see time, with a past, present and future, is bullshit. If we all disappeared, it would all disappear with us. 👋 The past according to St Augustine is just a memory, whether we are counting seconds or thinking about 10 years ago. 💭 Only the big man upstairs experiences true time and sees how the universe really works. This means that when people baulk at the Earth and the heavens having been created in seven days, St Augustine said: Back off! 😠 Those were seven kick-ass ‘God’ days, not seven pathetic made-up human days. 🖕

Astronomy is hot as fuck.❤️‍🔥 So next time you want to impress, get out the telescope, treat your love to some kick-ass views of the moon, Saturn🪐 or Jupiter, and then hit them with this cool ‘time’ shit. 🫦🥵 The next question you’ll be asking is what they’d like for breakfast. 😏🥞
