To an accelerated entity, time becomes subjective. If your thinking speeds up, everything else subjectively slows down.
 
Consider Yudkowsky's thoughts on subjective time:
 
"Transcended doubling might run up against the laws of physics before reaching infinity... but even the laws of physics as now understood would allow one gram (more or less) to store and run the entire human race at a million subjective years per second.
 
Let's take a deep breath and think about that for a moment. One gram. The entire human race. One million years per second. That means, using only this planetary mass for computing power, it would be possible to support more people than the entire Universe could support if biological humans colonized every single planet. It means that, in a single day, a civilization could live over 80 billion years, several times older than the age of the Universe to date."
 
What can one say after that jaw-dropper?
 
 
The spreadsheet below gives a small idea what subjective time can do.  Change the Assumptions on the left and watch the results.
