Time Dilation

January 20th, 2010

I was reading Player VS Player (it’s really good) and trying to catch up.  I’ve started at the beginning, so it’s a kind of fun time machine. It talks about when the PS2 first came out, and when each of the second/earlier trilogy of Star Wars movies came out.  Fun stuff.

The thing that interests me is the way time almost seems to dilate.  In this strip in March 2007 the characters talk about the death of Captain America.  When I read it, I was amazed that he was dead for so long. It feels like that just happened. This was right this strip in January 2007 about the introduction of the iPhone and it feels like that device has been around forever.

It’s amazing how our memories play these games with us, in spacing things out in time.  If you haven’t, definitely check the strip out if for no other reason than to take a fun stroll down pop culture memory lane.
