Jumping into space

Did you know that the time extends as you move with extremely high speed? In other words, time is just a concept. If I was a physicist, maybe I could explain better. As I jumped from a 30 feet high cliff in James Town, Rhode Islands, into the deep blue sea, time extended. The very moments I flew into the space into the water, everything was flashing in my mind. A lot of thoughts, in just a few moments. The joy of seeing my friends. The streets of downtown Manhattan and the warmth of a tight embrace. The scare of the fall and the question: What next? Little brother Cuong said it would take probably one 1.5 second before I hit the water. I think it was 5 seconds, probably more. Anyway, for your information, the jump was just a crazy idea of having fun and overcoming your own fear. A group of naval students was jumping before me; it took some guys like 30 minutes before they can jump. I did it in a minute. Navy sucks. Woohoo! It was two weeks ago.
