I find it difficult to get my head around that the fact that time changes depending on where you are. But your example is probably a good one to show that it's all relative - and perhaps it's like counting the days until CHristmas when you're small. Or, in my case, counting the days until I go on holiday! Welcome, SP! I find it difficult to get my head around that the fact that time changes depending on where you are.

Those 2 minutes seem like 2 seconds.. Same scenerio, other aircraft on finals, and we holding short of runway, those 2 minutes taken by the other aircraft seem like 2 hours! this might be irrelevant example, but the feeling of time variation is there! This really is fascinating…
