Feel any older?

Evidently, the earthquake in Japan caused a shift of several feet. The earth actually contracted, got smaller. So, like a figure skater drawing in tight to spin faster, the earth speeded up a little. That means time jumped ahead a little. They are actually considering adjusting the atomic clock. Feel older?

ehhh no...

I doubt its that much of a difference in time to even notice.. they're not talking hours or even minutes for that matter.. but like milliseconds.

just wait till something close to the milkyway goes supernova and we all get turned into data (light) instantaneously.

it is pretty cool if you think about, I was just merely stating that it wasn't anything that any of us would notice.

wouldn't it be a fucking trip if it was a big enough difference to be able to actually see it? Like, everyone waking up the next morning, having been aged an extra 20 years while we slept just overnight??!

Would be one hell of a trip IMO.. :|

Especially if you just happened to be tripping on acid.. yikes <:|

it would be solipsistic to change the atomic clock as this shift wasn't universal, or even a real shift. just a contraction. the next expansion will account for it.

Something close to the Milky Way? I am sure there are many many stars within our galaxy which are capable of supernova. Quite possible that there are such things that have already happened but the distances are so great we wouldn't know for thousands of years. The Milky Way is about 100,000 light years in diameter.

There are and there are many stars in the milky way that have gone super nova but if our closest neighbor went super nova we could see effects...i believe our closest neighbor is only 4 light years away dunno what would happen if it went super nova it could devestate us or just cause a shift in space radation which would or could be deflected by our atmosphere but i guess only time will tell and it wont b in our lifetime.
