I think Einstein said it best:
"When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute ? and it?s longer than any hour. That?s relativity."

Let me be the first to reply to myself...I suppose this is the benefit of the PREVIEW feature. It should read like this:
When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute - and it's longer than any hour. That's relativity.

Glad that you found out about the preview button 
The funny thing is that as long as youp review you never make mistakes - miss out on preview just once and you can almost guarantee that you'll 
it up somewhere
I know what you mean about relativity - any minute spent with MY realtives is like an hour

Relativity must apply to maths lessons then! They seem to go on forever!

I have yet to understand the whole thing about traveling faster then the speed of light somewhere and you get back and the time has passed slower for you then for the people you left behind.

Actualy I kinda find that scary. Science should always be questioned not just acepted as the absolute truth.

I know what you mean
But in this case it's hard to question the answer when you have trouble understanding the question

I see time as a big ball of string. It doesn't matter where it starts or ends. Its just there! Plus time always seems to be full of knots.

and it's a real trying to find either end.
and you can never find any string when you need it anyway

Now the 11th Dimension is considered to be a valid theory,
check out the 'M' (membrane) theory.
