loosing time?

jayl · 01-04-2012, 11:55 AM

Hi,

Sorry if this has been covered before. my car looses time by a couple minutes over 3-4 months... anyone else experience the same? (the clock will be behind about 1-2 minutes every few months).

Thanks,

I've noticed that with every car I've had in the past 10 years. a three dollar Timex keeps better time than any car I've ever owned

Strange haven't experienced anything like that, although in the minivan I have the time jus completley cuts off and comes back whenever it wants

Same here. Every Nissan I've ever owned had this problem.. 01 maxima, 03 murano, 07 maxima 09 Z '10 Cube.

My old Honda lost time.... So far my Z has been perfect, but I've only had it for 3 weeks.

at least it's easier to fix the time than if it was going too early. (less button to push)

Mr. Q · 01-04-2012, 12:42 PM

you can make up for the lost time by driving faster you grandma.

Doug&Michelle · 01-04-2012, 01:32 PM

Mine loses time also.

Your time gets loose? What a shame.

Actually, going faster slows down time even more..

I've got to get my nerd on here...

You're right, but consider that it slows down time only within the vehicle. In Hawkings theory of time travel, he uses the example of an extreme bullet train that circles the Earth near the speed of light. The train would need to circle the Earth 7 times a second for it to run at this speed. Time on board would slow down significantly while time on Earth remained the same.

If the train traveled for 100 years, the passengers on board would have lived for a mere week's time relative to the 100 years passed on Earth. They would have been catapulted 100 years into the future by speed alone.

That's facking crazy!

hahahahaha maybe Nissan is testing some space time manipulation device in their cars

That is crazy btw... I'm more intrigued at the ability to come to up with that theory. Hawking Rocks

Actually as you go faster and faster, time slows down. You are driving way too fast.
