Yes it is...

An hour in the arms of a beautiful womans seems like a minute.

A minute in danger seems like hours.



Did Einstein ever contemplate how time moves . . . relative to a child (fast moving object) and to an older person (slow moving object)?
Yes..That is the red shift/blue shift.

Let me see if I got this right, a grownup, upon seeing a child at play, sees blue, because the child moves quickly away from him . . . when the child moves toward the grownup, the grownup sees a shift from blue to red.

Now, if the gownup goes after the child (who's running away), the blue begins to shift to red? (so this is physics . . . not anger)

Now if the grownup runs away from the child (and looks back), he'll see a shift to blue?

A child in motion will most likely come into contact with the most valued vase in the house and cause it to go into entropy.

A child at rest will provide the grandparents a moment of rest.

When the child breaks the vase and the grandparent go after the child (and gets closer), they'll see a "red" shift, but when the kid runs away (at a much faster rate), the grandparent will now see a "blue" shift?

 
Many years ago, my Great-grandmother explained this all to me (she was nearly 100 at the time).

When she was 10, a year seemed like "forever" (it was in essence 1/10th of her life, and therefore could only be "envisioned" within that temporal context).

Then She was 20, a year went by nearly twice as fast as it did when she was 10 (DUH!),

When she was 50, a year didn't seem all that long at all.

Now that she was pushing 100, the years seemed like months when she was 10!

It made perfect sense to me then, and throughout my life I have seen (and appreciated) the temporal evolution of my perception of "TIME" (or more accurately "duration").
 
Time Is Relative
When you were one year old, a week was 2% of your lifetime. That is why you cried when it took so so long to get your bottle.

When you were 5, a week was 0.4% of your lifetime.

If you are 50, it is only 0.04%.

So a week for a 50 year old is only 10% of the length of a week for a 5 year old.

Enjoy your youth, seize the moments...
 
Ticking away the moments that make up the dull day

You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way

Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town

Waiting for someone or something to show you the way



Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain

You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today

And then one day you find that ten years have got behind you

No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun



And you run and run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking

And racing around to come up behind you again

The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older

Shorter of breath and one day closer to death


Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time

Plans that either come to naught or a half page of scribbled lines

Hanging on in a quiet desperation is the English way

The time is gone the song is over, thought i'd something more to say
 
I typed this out last week, and thought some of you might get some insight to the musings running through my head.
Made sense to me.
 
Thanks, I often get enthralled in the way things work. And time is relative which makes it intreresting.
Time Travel exists.
