Wheeler-DeWitt Equation

Have you ever heard of this? I recently heard of it for the first time a week ago. What piqued my interest in it? It deals with time. Have you ever wondered why when you're having fun time goes really fast. Or if you are in line, anywhere, or in a hospital, time goes slow. If time flies before I go to work I know it will go slow at work. If time is slow before work, then the night will go fast. Maybe this is just the reality I live in, but it is constant for me.
Sometimes when I first look at a clock, that one second on the clock seems to hold there for 2 seconds. Sometimes when I stare at a clock it will go faster or slower. If I try to stop time I can't. If I ignore time: sometimes it flies, sometimes it creeps. The weeks before Christmas as a child were an eternity, today they fly by. Time is weird. If I take a deep breath, hold it, exhale slowly I can slow time down and move through it faster. Accidents sometimes seem to happen in slow motion... Time is strange.
I can't give you the details of the equation. I read the papers and I can barely comprehend what I am reading. I took a year of calculus, a year of physics, and 2 quarters of chemistry in college. I never took quantum anything. What is a derivative and why does it approach infinity?
Just some basic nerd stuff. The double slit experiment was, according to Wikipedia (Young, Thomas (1804). "The Bakerian lecture. Experiments and calculation relative to physical optics." Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. 94:1-16), "first described by Thomas Young in 1801 when making his case for the wave behavior of visible light." So this theory has been around for quite some time.
All I want to say on the "Double Slit Experiment" is that, for the common person, it is equivalent of dancing or singing when nobody is watching. As soon as someone is watching the behavior changes. If a person hates public displays, such as public speaking, they will stop singing or dancing as soon as they realize they are being observed. If a person loves the spotlight they will sing or dance with more bravado when they realize they are being watched. Electrons... light particles... They behave differently when they are being watched or not being watched. On the quantum level they say the observer is now sharing the the same reality as the electron or light, and thereby interfering with it causing it to behave differently.
What does this have to do with Wheeler-DeWitt? From what I gather, the nuts and bolts of it is the same. Time behaves differently when we witness it. If we are witnessing it in a low vibrational state, of say trauma, or a hangover, time moves slow. If we witness time in a high vibrational state, such as an exciting movie, sporting event, or love interest, time moves fast. It is inherently dependent upon our sharing it's quantum level. We interfere with it.
As with all things, I may be wrong. I am wrong often. Why write about this at all? Most people hear about such topics and immediately stop listening. There are a million self-help aspects of life. A simple thought structure on quantum mechanics gives me the guide to change my own reality. Am I a high vibration or low vibration kind of guy? Does time go fast or slow? Is the reality in which I live the reality in which I want to live? And who is going to change that if I don't? And if I let someone change that for me, am I going to be happy with the results?
