    The meaning isn’t literal, it is saying that waiting feels longer when you are focused on the thing.

      The meaning can also be literal if you interpret it using quantum physics. Observing the quantum state of a molecule will collapse its wavefunction in the most likely state, which is the same state it was in if you observed it mere instants ago.
