There is two definitions for spiking the football. 1. When a player makes a touchdown and throws the ball on the ground, it's a spike. 2. When a quarterback needs to stop the clock in a game, they throw the football on the ground to stop it, which is called spiking.

How fast does time flow?

You'd better sit down for this . . . The answer is: "It depends".It depends on who's watching the clock, and whether the clock and the watcher are movingrelative to each other.Take two high-school kids, each with a clock, one on the ground and the other one in an airplane.Each one also has a little telescope, so he can watch the other kid's clock.The kid on the ground watches the clock in the airplane. He compares it with his clock, and hediscovers that the clock in the airplane is running slow.Meanwhile, the kid in the airplane is watching the clock on the ground. He compares it with his clock,and he discovers that the clock on the ground is running slow.Both kids are correct.There's no such thing as "real" time.Now, before you ask "Why ?", I'll give you that answer too: Because that's how nature works.
