Darling, do you remember our talk about Time Dilatation? I think we discussed it (in great lengths) shortly after watching the movie, Interstellar.
It's a theory in relativity which, according to Wikipedia, is defined as "a difference of elapsed time between two events as measured by observers either moving relative to each other or differently situated from a gravitational mass or masses."
Simply put (kindly bear with my own somewhat noobish understanding, mostly based on having read science fiction growing up) it's a cosmic event that causes two individuals to perceive (or rather, experience) time differently, usually due to the difference in their locality (where they are in the galaxy), the speed in which one is travelling through space (especially where FTL speed is involved), or in the case of what happened in Interstellar; the difference in gravity (i.e. time moves slower where gravity is greater so that if a person is near a black hole, where gravity is so massive that nothing can escape, not even light, time gets slowed to a halt)
In the movie, Cooper, the protagonist, fears that he might never see his daughter Murph again because as he travels near a giant black hole, time is slower for him than it is for Murph. Thus while Cooper only ages a few hours, Murph, on Earth, is aging eight decades!
In the same way, whenever I'm with you, time seems to behave differently as well. It really shouldn't. I mean, after all, apart from the strong "gravitational pull" of the physical attraction we have for each other (which really doesn't apply to the science of relativity or time dilatation), we're both experiencing the same gravitational force on Earth as everybody else, so really, time shouldn't move any different for us than it does for everyone else in this world.
Yet, whenever we're together, time seems to slow down around us, but moves at the normal speed for the rest of the world. Once we're apart and time gets adjusted, it seems like more time has passed than we've actually experienced. You know what I mean, right? You used to say that it feels as though time moves a lot faster whenever we're together i.e. like when we were still dating, an entire day would go by and yet feel as if we've only spent an hour or two together. But in actuality our time is moving slower than everyone else!
Basically,when we're together, it's like we're on Gargantua (and experiencing time as Cooper did) while everyone else on Earth was experiencing normal time (like Murph did).
But. What causes it???
I've given this much thought and then, one day, it hit me like an epiphany! Remember what happened in the movie when it was revealed that the only force greater than gravity (and time itself) was... You guessed it! Love?
And that explains everything! It's the great love I have for you (which is even greater than the Earth's gravity!) that causes time to slow down whenever we're together!
And that's why even though it feels like it was only yesterday that we had that first date at that fancy Italian restaurant near your old work place in KL and I asked you if you believed in "love at first sight" and you said no, and I said "neither do i" and wham! 6 years have gone by (was it 6 years? All this time dilatation is confusing me) and woah! DARLING! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? WE'VE BEEN MARRIED FOR ONE YEAR!
It's amazing how you still make time stand still for me whenever we're together. Especially when we're having so much fun together. You're the only person I can talk to about anything (also about the only person in the world who would layan my Sci-fi theories) and I love that about you. Let's keep the Force (Love) strong in us and continue to bend Time and Space Continuum (Oh but that's another theory for another day) whenever we're together! I love you darling, and now that you're my wife, I shall love you forever more! Happy 1st year anniversary my love.
DISCLAIMER: I just realised that this post may have contained spoilers for those who have yet to watch Interstellar, the movie. So if I did spoil the movie for you I'll just have to say... Too bad! You weren't the target recipient of this letter/post anyway. This was originally intended for my wife's eyes only, and she's already watched the movie anyway. No hard feelings.
