and your speed? if you are close to light speed, time slows down?

Last night, I went to the supermarket to buy a loaf of bread. Decided to get a few other things whilst I was there. Arrived home, unpacked my two bags of groceries and realised I'd forgotten the bread. :lol:

Reminds me of this (old) joke:
Quote:
An elderly husband and wife noticed that they were beginning to forget many little things around the house. They were afraid that this could be dangerous, as one of them may accidentally forget to turn off the stove and thus cause a fire. So, they decided to go see their physician to get some help.
Their physician told them that many people their age find it useful to write themselves little notes as reminders.

The elderly couple thought this sounded wonderful, and left the doctor's office very pleased with the advice. When they got home, the wife said, "Dear, will you please go to the kitchen and get me a dish of ice cream? And why don't you write that down so you won't forget?"

"Nonsense," said the husband, "I can remember a dish of ice cream!"

"Well," said the wife, "I'd also like some strawberries on it. You better write that down, because I know you'll forget."

"Don't be silly," replied the husband. "A dish of ice cream and some strawberries. I can remember that!"

"OK, dear, but I'd like you to put some whipped cream on top. Now you'd really better write it down now. You'll forget," said the wife.

"Come now, my memory's not all that bad," said the husband. "No problem-- a dish of ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream." With that, the husband shut the kitchen door behind him. The wife could hear him getting out pots and pans, and making some noise inconsistent with his preparing a dish of ice cream, strawberries, and whipped cream. He emerged from the kitchen about 15 minutes later. Walking over to his wife, he presented her with a plate of bacon and eggs.

The wife took one look at the plate, glanced up at her husband and said, "Hey, where's the toast?"

My life is like that all the time. It can take as long as two hours to get a cup of coffee, because I am distracted before I get to the coffee simply going from one room to another, and in phones and doorbells.

Technically, no :). The point is it's all relative. To you, time always moves at the rate you expect it to. If you are moving fast, the time that's passing for you seems to be passing more slowly only when observed by someone else who isn't travelling very fast. This is how the whole 'proving relativity by taking one of a pair of synchonized clocks on a long train journey' thing works.

Although there is a theory I read that extreme gravity can also affect the rate of change of time over an area, so if you and the observer are both near a black hole, time would appear to slow down for the both of you. Although at that point getting older probably isn't something you'd need to worry about.
