Probably, many have noticed that in recent years something was wrong with the passage of time. Days and months fly by rapidly, overtaking our capabilities, and we have time to do less and less. It would seem that the day has just begun, but lo and behold, it is already ending!
No sooner had we “entered” the third millennium, as we had already run twelve years, and we did not even notice. The previous explanation of this phenomenon, that, they say, the more mature a person becomes, the faster his life flies, is no longer relevant. Nowadays, the rapid run of time is noticed not only by people of age, but even by teenagers and young men! So what happens over time?
The day has become shorter
In a private conversation, one priest, known for his special gift of seeing the invisible, gave impressive information; time began to shorten! Compared to what was a hundred or more years ago, the present day has become shorter. In terms of real, not calendar duration, if we take the old time that has not changed for centuries as the standard, the modern day lasts only 18 hours against the previous 24. It turns out that every day we receive about 6 hours less, and that is why we always do not have enough time, days fly at an accelerated rate. The shortening of the day was especially noticeable at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries.
One can doubt the foresight of the priest and the objectivity of his conclusions. But it turns out that there are other facts that indicate a reduction in time.
On sacred Athos, monks even spend their nights in prayer. Moreover, the Athonite elders have long developed a special prayer rule: in a certain period of time they must read so many prayers, and so every day, strictly by the hour. Before the monks had time to complete this “program” in one night, and before the early morning service they even had a little time to rest. And now, with the same number of prayers, the elders no longer have enough night to finish them!
An equally amazing discovery was made by Jerusalem monks serving in the Holy Land. It turns out that for several years the lamps at the Holy Sepulcher have been burning longer than before. Previously, oil was added to large lamps at the same time, on the eve of Easter. It burned out completely within a year. But now, for the umpteenth time, there is still a lot of oil before the main Christian holiday. It turns out that even the physical laws of combustion are ahead of time!

The shortening of the day also affected labor productivity. In the old days, using the simplest tools, people managed to do much more than we can now. Archpriest Valentin Biryukov recalls that in the 30s his father, having returned from exile to his family, with a minimum of assistants, managed to build a new good hut in just a week. And in the memoirs of Boris Shiryaev about the Solovetsky camp there is an episode how 50 prisoners, almost half of whom were "goners", built and commissioned a hefty bathhouse in just 22 hours! The builders had only hand saws and axes in service. Now, even with modern electrical tools, we will not be able to keep up with the hard workers of the past! And not only because they have become lazier and weaker, but also because there is not enough time.
Last times
Some Orthodox people are inclined to believe that metamorphoses over time are a clear indication that we are entering the Last Times and there are only a few years or decades left until the end of the world. No one can speak about this with confidence, but there is a hint in the Gospel: "… For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, pestilences and earthquakes in places … then there will be great tribulation, which has not been from the beginning of the world until now, And if those days had not been shortened, no flesh would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened "(Matthew 24: 7-22).
Some holy fathers say about the shortening of the day before the end of the world, for example, St. Nil the Myrrh-streaming: "The day will rotate like an hour, a week, like a day, a month, like a week and a year, like a month …"
The problem of the inconstancy of time was comprehended at the junction of philosophy and theology by the great Russian thinker Alexei Fedorovich Losev. “Considering time in its essence, as it is given to us in living experience, we state a certain fundamental instability characteristic of the essence of time. It is … heterogeneous, compressible, expandable, completely relative and conditional … Since 1914, time has somehow condensed and began to flow faster. Apocalyptic expectations are explained precisely by the thickening of time …"
Slowing down life
Comprehending the problem of reducing time, one involuntarily turns to the science fiction of H. G. Wells. To one degree or another, many of his predictions have come true - for example, about the artificial manufacture of diamonds and the creation of bathyscaphes to explore the ocean depths. Let us recall Wells's story "The Newest Accelerator."
Professor Gibbern invented a wonderful elixir with which you can change the time for a particular person. In a person who has drunk the drug, all the processes in the body are accelerated hundreds of times, and he manages to do as much in a second as he would not do in ordinary life in a few minutes. At the same time, the world around seems to be frozen, and even bees move at the speed of a snail.
It is clear that this is a fairy tale, but the fairy tale is a lie, but in it …
In the case of our real time, we have in some way the opposite effect. For some mysterious reasons, the life processes in the world could slow down. We breathe more slowly, the heart beats less often, the cells regenerate longer. Thanks to the slower work of the body, we manage to do about 25 percent less for every minute of time than the representatives of previous generations did. Accordingly, the perception of the world has changed, and time in our perception has accelerated its run and flies by a quarter faster.
But this is just a version, which, by the way, does not explain the example with the lamps at the Holy Sepulcher. It is more likely that time itself, in spite of its apparent constancy, can "shrink". What do scientists think about this?
The earth has grown old
Interesting explanations of the variability of time were given by the well-known physicist, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Corresponding Member of the Belarusian Academy of Sciences, the late Viktor Iosefovich Veinik.
Academician Veinik put forward a scientific hypothesis that time, like a physical phenomenon, has a material carrier - a kind of time substance, which he called "chronal field". In the course of the scientist's experiments, a wrist electronic watch placed in an experimental installation created by him could slow down or accelerate its course. Based on his experiments with the substance of time, Veinik concluded that there is a temporary field of the planet - the "chronosphere", which controls the transition of the past into the future.
The scientist considered the rate of certain processes (he called it the term "chronal") and came to the conclusion that the intensity of these processes decreases in the world - for example, the intensity of radioactive decay of atoms, nuclear and chemical reactions.
Of all living things, the highest speed of the body is observed in newborns. All their processes are fast - babies grow quickly, gain weight quickly, quickly learn to understand the world … And the life around them, accordingly, seems very slow to them. If a child is only two days old, then for him one day is half his life! And with age, the speed decreases many times. This also affects our perception of time - the lower the intensity of the processes, the faster time flies. For an elderly person, the weeks begin to flicker as quickly as the days in his youth.
But that's not all. It turns out that not only specific people age. The whole society and civilization as a whole are gradually "decaying"! On our planet, the speed of life processes is steadily decreasing, which is why the run of time is accelerating for everything on Earth.
In ancient times, at a high rate of processes, life on the planet was literally in full swing - dinosaurs were as big as a three-story building, the grass was like today's trees, and the process of radioactive decay of the atom was incredibly intense. The first people were also distinguished by gigantism, confirmation of this can be found in the Bible: "At that time there were giants on the earth … these are strong, glorious people from ancient times" (Genesis 6: 4).
Over time, the "riot" of life weakened more and more, representatives of the flora and fauna decreased in size, the world began to age. Now the intensity of all processes has decreased thousands of times, and today we can even feel the slowing down of time, which is happening literally before our eyes.
By the way, even now there are places on Earth with a slightly increased chronal, for example, Sakhalin Island. Burdocks there are like hefty umbrellas, and the grass is the size of a bush. French scientists tried to plant these giants on their land, but failed. A year later, the transplanted giants became ordinary, short and unremarkable plants. And one inquisitive scientist drove from Moscow to Vladivostok with a radioactive clock and found that the rate of decay of atoms, reflected in the course of the clock, is not the same in different places.
Time compression
Representatives of the occult trend in alternative science - eniology, which studies the laws of energy-informational interaction in nature, society and the Universe - also show a keen interest in the problem of time compression. Curiously, in this area, their findings echo the End Times prophecies mentioned above.
According to Yuri Lear, MD, real time in the Universe has noticeably accelerated (and we, accordingly, do not keep up with it). This process began in the middle of the 20th century, when the solar system entered an incredibly powerful stream coming from the center of our galaxy and carrying a huge amount of energy and information in a variety of variations. This influenced the psyche of each person and people's perception of the world around them.
“There are many theories about changing the course of time,” says Lear. - I think the most convincing opinion is the opinion of the Soviet scientist, Professor Nikolai Aleksandrovich Kozyrev, who proved by experience that time is the energy in which the Universe resides. And this energy can change the density of the flow. According to Kozyrev's theory, if the solar system's rotation speed changes, the time automatically changes. Where there is more energy, time "decreases", contracts.
- Alas, we do not feel like inhabitants of the planet and treat our common home with the Earth worse than ever! - continues Dr. Lear. - The consciousness of a modern person is artificially narrowed and tied to a specific point of residence. He does not feel what is happening to the planet. Hence the lack of responsibility for everything that he does at a particular time. It is sad to admit, but catastrophic events like tsunamis and typhoons are a consequence of people's attitude to each other, a terrible price to pay for the unreasonableness of human behavior. Why did the waves of a terrible tsunami hit specifically Indonesia and Thailand? I believe that the main cesspool of mankind is located there today. Everything that rich perverts can afford is there. On a gigantic scale and cheap. That is, these are modern Sodom and Gomorrah. Hence the result. And now it is the turn of the United States to pay for the fall in spirituality, pride, arrogance and desire to rule the world …
But despite water disasters, the main danger for today's humanity lies not in water, but in fire.
- There is an increase in energy coming to the Earth, - Yuri Lear is sure. - Nowadays, the Sun has so increased all types of radiation that many of them have ceased to succumb to the usual instrumental study! The spectrum of solar radiation confidently moves from yellow to white, that is, the luminary is heating up. This is the very fire that the Savior and the apostles talk about in the New Testament. If you combine this with the prophecies in the Tibetan Book of the Dead, with the calendar of the ancient Egyptians and the secret, sacred calendar to the Indian book of the Mayakichi "Popol Vuh" (this is the Bible of the Maya Indians), then it becomes clear: very soon we will have a transition to a new state, in a different time … For us today, this means one thing: following the calls of the ancient prophets, we need to behave like a human being, not like a bestial. For those who do not fit into the system of moral and ethical values,there is no place in the future! Humanity that does not want to abide by the laws of the One Whose offspring it is is doomed …
And yet, in no case should you fall into despair and give up, foreseeing the imminent end of the world! First, the end of everything on Earth is in the hands of God, and “about that day and hour” no one knows except the Creator Himself. And secondly, there is no need to think about the fate of the entire planet - let's think better about ourselves, about our life and our mission on Earth. After all, only you and no one else will have to be responsible for how you have lived your life, whether it is long or short.
