The WP men’s basketball game last night was intense. From the first appearance of the Knights to the final milliseconds I was completely engrossed in the game, which is a big deal for a non-athlete such as myself. At one point I commented on this vicious intensity, what with the clock stopped at 8.2 seconds. No sooner had the words left my mouth I realized what an odd concept that is… that a sharp burst of sound has the power to cancel any and all momentum in a space, that the numbers on the scoreboard could dictate the will of a man?
What if we actually stopped time? Would we ‘stop the clock’ before a test for a bit of extra studying? Pause time to gaze longer at a beautiful sunset?
The concept of stopping time at all is just absurd.
