Discussion Forum > Messing with the flow of time
Amusingly recent speculations suggest time emerges from timelessness via fractal unfolding:
"A fractal concept of time differentiates the length, depth and density of time. If the
length of time is determined by a LOD-generating subject, duration turns into a two-
dimensional phenomenon: The length of time is generated through incompatible facts
("before-after-relations"), the depth of time through nested, compatible facts"

or in a more easily understood form: http://www.amazon.com/Fractal-Time-Secret-2012-World/dp/1401920659

Time can stand still with a lover, stretch and drag in the dentist's chair, and fly by while absorbed by a landscape or music. Life is just not juicy and enriching enough if consciousness is dominated by getting to the outcome at the expense of a deeper and more fascinating experience (which the boss might call distraction).
Time Law 1: steady-rate time is a myth useful for boss's need for outcomes and corporations desire for predictability and control
Time Law 2: the pull of time is weaker as we go deeper into an experience via fascination - the metronome is predictable vs the fascination and uncertainty of beethoven
Time Law 3: the pull of outcome cancels the pull of fascination, delight and exploration
