I love it. You did the math.

I find it amazing how it all adds up but we tend to thing in years not hours or days.

I figured this out when I was a tween. Another one is we find time goes faster as we age (for most), that’s because a year when you’ve lived ten years, a year is 10% of your life experience (in years). And when you’ve lived 20 years, a year seems faster because a year is now only 5% of your life experience, and so on, and so on. Math can be fun sometimes

I’m feeling like we are kindred spirits because that’s how I’ve explained the years passing faster every year for a while now!

One of those old Greeks figured it out first, but I can never remember the name. That said, it’s still your/my theorem in a way, cause we figured it out independently

It’s bittersweet figuring things out independently, figuring it out a bit to late to make money lol.

Alexander Graham Bell and Antonio Meucci basically invented the telephone basically simultaneously, and there are other examples. Sometimes it’s all about filing the paperwork first

I generally only think of it in terms of hours and days when it is overtime pay.
