At a famous institute of technology there is a room filled with scale-model trains set up to run in perpetuity through a scale model of the town that is home to the institute. You can watch the trains power along the tracks and through the tunnels and avoid near-collisions before you notice the clock on the wall and its madly spinning hands.
The clock is on scale time, of course.
Those of us who have to leave here, even briefly, feel, I think, that time, anywhere else, is like this– like scale time.
Thank you, Sean Collier.
