For any project, the velocity of time is inversely proportional to the time remaining before the project due date.

Sounds bit like the Doppler Affect as the pitch of the whining increases inversely proportional to the velocity of the approaching deadline. Or would that get into the Theory of Relativity ... Depends on how jacked up on coffee I am at this hour. 😉

Don't forget that the relative passage of time is proportional to the amount of time accrued.

20 minutes seemed like forever when I was 5... now it is short and someday it will be nothing.

Except when you are approaching the speed of light .

Whenever I approach the speed of light I remember what a bore he is, so I cross the street to avoid him.

Good one Jim. I met that dude once, ugly SOB too. Faster than my '67 Camaro.

Velocity of time is when you should be home at 5pm and it's 5:39 and you smell like beer. Plus forgot to stop and get the pork chops you forgot you had to cook, not to mention the wine.

Hi honey, would you like a beer.... my how time flies.

True on the up take, but it's really a bell curve. That eternal 20 minutes it takes cookies to bake when your young also recurs later in life, but the cookies are still good. 😉
