Hey, if an airplane ride lasted five minutes then it would be speeding the time up. Or am I wrong?

If you slowed time down so much that writing the whole essay lasts like five minutes then you're also slowing the time down.

I think we mean essentially the same thing, just different terms.

Actually something similar happens(happened to me) when learning to drive. At first 50kph(30mph) felt fast as hell, now it's more like painfully slow. But might also be just getting used to speed..
