The science of time is in a bit of an awkward place right now. The Large Hadron Collider has failed to find the supersymmetric "sparticles" predicted by the various flavors of String Theory/Supersymmetry. It's starting to look like String Theory is well and truly on the ropes. Its most promising competitors do a nice job of cleaning up Supersymmetry's reliance on multiple tiny dimensions, but they have the messy habit of playing hell with our notions of time and causality by suggesting that spacetime is constantly emerging from within itself, rather than being a fundamental property of the Universe. Lucky for you, these emerging competitors to Supersymmetry (Entropic Gravity, Asympototically Safe Gravity, Loop Quantum Gravity, and Amplituhedron Formulation of Quantum Theory) seem to suggest that the simple act of waiting may actually gradually increase the efficiency of the time you've spent waiting. And if that isn't a comforting thought, boy golly, I don't know what is.
