speedsolving:black hole?

[daniel0731ex]

i have been noticing about this 'phenominon' for a while, but didn't really pay much attention to it.
i find that time of the envirement around you seemed to go slower as you solves, appearently the timer seemed to go slower then you thought huh?

maybe the 'mystical' rubik's cube has some magic that we don't know??



(waiting for Jcuber's or Dene's comment XDDDDD)

My timer seems to speed up.

Nothing magic about it. It's a normal phenomenon. When Daniel loses a few seconds, Ellis earns them. It's a zero sum effect. Nothing created, nothing lost.

Yea, I think the scientists actually proved it once. Whenever you turn a face of a cube, then time slows down a little. So the more you turn, the slower time goes.

Your link is broken. Anyway, the TOR only applies to speeds practically the speed of light.

Actually, the TOR always applies. It's just that it's negligible unless the velocity is a significant fraction of c.

Sorry for asking, but what exactly is TOR?

Theory Of Relativity, if I'm not mistaken.

Thanks a bunch! This topic sounds interesting...

I watch a video explaining how older people seem to perceive time as slower than younger people. A simple test is to try to count to 30 and see how close you come. The test on the video showed that older people stopped the time in a longer period of time and younger people the opposite.

I guess this test can apply to this theory.

EDIT: I just tried this. I counted to 12 on a 14.93 solve showing that time seems to go faster for me.
