Not necessarily BluesMan. People don't always work with their time. Even if you're getting paid for the time your spending online at the office

Time is still money though.

Parking meters receive money for the time you park. Cell phones and long distance charge money for the Time you use. Rent or Mortgage is Time you bought to live there. When you pay for someones Tme, they usually provide a service.
We constantly pay Time with money, or get money for our Time.
You pay an electric bill with money, for the amount of Time you use it. and so on and so on...

I kinda' sidetracked the Scientifical discussion of Time; but regardless,,
Time is Money
Ask any Engineer or Lawyer or Banker or Dentist or Bus Driver or Retail Clerk.

I guess its Time to get back to the Curved and dimensional aspect..

Sorry for interupting the flow of Time on this thread...

Velocity = distance / money?

and

Distance = Velocity x Money?

and

Money = Distance / Velocity?




Next time the girl you're dating asks to borrow $5, just tell her you'll give it to her in 5 days... Then, explain time is money so you've already given it to her.

See what happens!
I'd pay time to see that!

Re: What is time?

What is time???

That which never rests.
That which waits on nobody.
That which a young person has so much of.
That which an old person is running out of.
That which mankind wishes to control.
That which has come with birth.
That which has passed in death.....................Infy

I think InfiniteNow is on the right track!

Money = Skills X Worktime M= S X W

Time = Work X Compensation T = W X C

???

Lets get some Math guys to figure out the variables

If Time = Money

Uh-oh...
Have you never seen "Breakfast At Tiffany's", my all time favorite movie? Ms. Golightly would often get as much as $50 on a date, for going to the 'powder room'. Evidently, it used to cost money just to spend a few minutes in the lil girls room. Now that's one for the math guys to figure out, eh?

time in the bathroom X money = how much is acceptable to borrow on a date

forgot to mention that in some countries, you actually do have to pay to use the loo. I can still remember my first night in Antallya, Turkey. I was appalled to discover that for a short time in their public restrooms, it would cost me almost 200,000 lira. Then I realized that it was less than a dollar, and it didn't bother me quite so much anymore.

Of course, personally, I think it'd be tacky to wear diamonds before I'm 40.



It should take you 4 seconds to get from here to that door. I'll give you two.

Ah... and since this thread is about time... does it cost more the longer you are in the loo?

Excellent observation InfiniteN...........I think everone is familiar with seeing the long lines outside the ladies facilities in places like, for example; County fairs, Nascar races, Community Parks or any other organized outdoor activity where numerous people are in attendence. Never are the lines as long outside the mens facilities.................I think we could define this difference as efficiency
