Time does not expand."" But time is actually expanding, isn't it? You yourself said that time adds up."" That's only because time needed for transit has decreased. The sum total of time doesn't change. It's only that you can see more movies.

Haruki Murakami
About This Quote

The quote, "Time does not expand," is an interesting one. It seems to suggest that time is not expanding in any way, but the opposite is actually true. The sum total of time does not change, but the amount of time that can be lived (i.e., that which remains after subtracting time spent on transit) does expand.
