Researchers Discover That Time is Finite :shock:

Post by tex »

Hi All,

Are we ready for this earth-shaking discovery? Researchers have discovered (believe it or not) that there are only 24 hours in each day. :headscratch:

Not only that, but they have discovered that if we spend time doing one activity, it actually subtracts from the time available to do other activities :yikes:

Say it isn't true. :monkey: I'm still reeling, and trying to figure out how to take advantage of this incredible discovery, but it appears to be the reason why I always seem to have undone projects left over on my to-do list, virtually every day.

I have no idea how much money they spent gathering data and interpreting all of it to reach this conclusion, but look at what they claim to be true:
Preparing meals can mean less time for exercise, according to a new study.
Decisions, Decisions: Work Out or Fix a Meal?

Is that awesome or what? No longer do we have to worry and wonder why we don't seem to get half as much accomplished each day, as we had hoped to do. In fact, with such tight limitations on the time available to us, I'm wondering if there's even any point in getting out of bed tomorrow.

By the time I drag out of bed, fix breakfast and eat it, boot a computer and take my pills, it'll almost be time for a coffee break. Heck, unless I gulp it down, it will almost be time to start thinking about fixing (as we say here in Texas) lunch, and looking ahead, it won't be long 'til suppertime. So how in the world can I possibly find enough time to even justify starting to work on any projects, let alone actually accomplish anything worthwhile?

They're right — it's a lost cause — I'm throwing up my hands. Exercise will surely have to go, along with a lot of other projects that I used to do (such as work) every day. I just hope that I can find the time to run to the mailbox before the day is over, but if there are any bills there, how in the world will I ever find the time to write out a check to pay them? And without having any time for work, it won't take long for the bank account to run dry anyway.

Of course, if there are any ads in the mail for exercise equipment, I can safely throw those in the trash, because clearly, according to the astounding research discovery cited above, there is no way that any of us are likely to ever find enough time to devote to exercise. Life will never be the same. :lol:

Just imagine how proud the parents of those researchers will be when they attend the award ceremony and see their own flesh and blood receiving the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences. And to think that this is the fruit of the best of the best researchers, with the support of the scientific community right here in America, is truly inspiring. It makes me proud to be an American. Or not. :lol:

Great one Tex...love the humorous approach.

Of course NEVER tell a physicist that time is FINITE!!! (Dastardly word it is) Then we will have to have the discussion of relativity as it applies to your bodies velocity near a spatially relative gravenometric body...Well from there it doesn't get too much better. :grin:

Darned relativity, always showing up when you least expect it :shock:

I realize that, and I was sure that taking such liberties with the facts would get a response from you. :lol: But I thought that faulty claim added to the humor (and the absurdity of their project in general). You have to admit, it sorta grabs your attention. :millianlaugh:

Always good to see how wisely money is spent on this type of "necessary" research. You made my day, Tex!

No worries Tex, I did enjoy your post, I just thought I would have a bit of theoretical fun :grin:

Trust me Tex in academia we have many many good laughs at how research and grant money is spent

Heaven help us all. We are so screwed!

Thanks for my laugh of the day, Tex. Now I must go so that I can make a decision on whether to fix dinner or exercise, as I can't possibly have time for both. I have a feeling my husband votes for dinner. :smile:

Tex, I am laughing so hard! VERY FUNNY!

Who has time to fix dinner or exercise since I spend ALL of my time on this board! Work? What work? It gets in the way of my social life and takes time away from this board! I don't know how anybody can find time to work.

It's hopeless.

Profound research. The more time you spend doing one thing the less time you have to do something else. That never occurred to me before.

I need to share this profound research with my husband, as further proof that I can't exercise because I'm always cooking dinner for the family in the evenings!
