Just my thoughts. Don't kill me.
Don't worry...we aren't playing by Aztec rules here.
Time is a tool, indeed.
Time is needed to play music.

But to say that "time is speeding up" seems odd.
I am not saying that time is speeding up. Actually, the opposite.
The 'heartbeat' of the Earth is in the process of moving from 7.8 (pulses per second) to.......a particular rhythm. Right now, the 'heartbeat' is very close to twelve (may already be there) and still climbing.
My guess is that the 'heatbeat' of the Earth will hit 12.8-13.2 and hold steady for a little while, then move again until it reaches 20.8-21.2.
It's like working out. You reach a point where as much as you work out, it seems that you can't make any more progress (a plateau). Then, if you keep working at it, the results start to move up again....only to plateau at a certain point. A rhythm.
While the 'heartbeat' of the Earth is steady climbing, the rotation of the Earth is slowing down. Thanks to the 4° wobble of the axis of the earth (
23.5° from vertical) we have a 26,000 year procession. Some say this cycle is going to cause the Earth to STOP rotating for 3 days. After those 3 days, the rotation of the Earth will reverse. Meaning the Sun will rise in the West for the next 13,000 years. Hmm.
