For those of us already struggling to cross that last item off our "to do" list each day, there's bad news: Time is slowing down and will eventually run out. That's according to a team of Spanish scientists who claim that the growth of the universe is decelerating, slowing time and making everything appear to take place faster. Researchers theorize that eventually time will grind to a complete halt and cease to exist, but it's happening so slowly that it's imperceptible to humans. This might give nightmares to the Sheldon Coopers among us, but we prefer to think of it as the perfect, scientifically backed excuse for just not having enough time to get everything done.

Does this mean when time stops, everyone freezes in place (like in shows from the 1960's)?

But then, I think time runs backwards.... so leave yourself some post-it notes.. and get stuff done on the way back :31
