Time Swing
Basically the time swing is a rather large public clock lifted of the ground so that one can hang swings on it’s needles. The slower the needle goes (hours) the more it encourages you to swing hard where as the second needle will probably already give you such a speedy ride that you won’t feel the urge to do so much else. There is a small physical problem of swingers of minute and hour needle colliding, but maybe that can be taken care of by adjusting the length –thus the reach of the swing and the length of the needles.
A shadow of time will be cast on the floor. While swinging you will be for a short while ahead of time -and then fall behind – and again ahead of time, and again behind...Time becomes relative, or you can bend it and maybe one eventually understands Heisenberg’s Uncertainty principle.
