New Ad Land Cartoon: Time and Advertising

Hey brainiacs, is time absolute or relative? In Ad Land, it’s all over the place.

Scientists and philosophers have long argued over whether time is absolute (fixed) or relative (variable). Who knows? Well, this week’s Ad Land cartoonhas the answer, at least for the advertising universe: Time is all over the place.

Our David T. Jones has clearly done his homework and offers some groundbreaking theories. For instance, the attosecond is considered to be the shortest measureable amount of time. (How short? One attosecond is to one second as one second is to the age of the universe. I’m feeling dizzy.) But in his research, David’s uncovered an even shorter unit of time. Get me Einstein on the phone!

Don’t waste another attosecond. Jump on over to the full cartoon to see all of David’s findings.
