It’s all relative. Really it is.
And that doesn’t mean it’s all about the family.
According to Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, no two people have the same view of space-time. Stated simply, much of what we think is real is actually a function of being The Observer of that “realness.”
As The Observer, each of us views what is coming at us with very different interpretations about what’s happening now, what has happened in the past, what’s likely to happen as a consequence in the future, what all of that means, and how to respond or not respond.
For example, take two people and ask them to both perform a particular task. Simple enough, right? But because they have different neuronets, they hear (i.e., interpret) two very different requests.
While each will walk away thinking they both heard the same request, you would find upon interviewing them that there are slight differences (or even major differences), depending on how they filtered what they heard and the meaning they gave to the request.
Something to consider the next time you ask someone to do something. Maybe they were listening, they just processed it differently according to the mind they have and the life experiences that shaped it.
And btw, the title is a play on the old joke, “Why did Einstein throw his uncle out the window? Because he wanted to see relative time fly.”
* = About Heisenberg Fridays. Each Friday I post about whatever I want outside of the realms of marketing, sales, advertising or copywriting. More often than not, it will be about one of my favorite studies – the research into quantum mechanics and how consciousness influences reality.
So while most of the week you’ll be certain of the overall theme of my posts, each Friday you will experience uncertainty about the topic, which is my tip of the hat to Werner Heisenberg the creator of quantum mechanics’ Uncertainty Principle.
