...that time appears to distort depending on you level of personal boredom?

i suggest that your heart-rate increases under stress. i suggest that you heart-rate decreases when you are relaxed. i have found that i view times of high heart rate as passing 'slowly' and times of slow heart rate as 'fast'.

time flies when you're having fun.
a watched kettle never boils.

that sort of thing.

can you have a measure without a scale?

given these points, what do you deduce re: relative time perception?

have fun-
