George Carlin on Time

[Guest]

Who has the TIME for this stuff? 

[Guest]

Everything is the "near future" or the "recent past". ...... 

[Guest]

You want that "now"? Yes.  ... Sorry, you'll have to try again. 

[Guest]

Lickety split.... you don't hear that much anymore.

 

Which is quicker? A Jiffy or a Flash?  How many Jiffies are there in two shakes of a lamb's tail?

 

 

[Guest]

"Soon" versus "Real Soon" versus "Sooner than I think"......

"I'll be back before you know it" ---- LOL

 

[Guest]

"Anytime now". / "Any day know"

"Sooner or Later"

"Once in a while"

Just a little while..... "A little while".  so different than "a short time"   LOL

 

[Guest]

"Til the cows come home" - 

"Forever" - LOL.... the mother of all time terms. Except for "Eternity"

Periods of Time:

5 minutes 

15 minutes is an official / regulatory slice of time.

20 minutes does sound more free doesn't it? :-)

There are many weird ideas in physics, but that one... that, as Einstein said, "distinction between past, present & future is an illusion" is just too weird.
