Word for moving quickly enough for things to seem blurry

English Language & Usage Asked by uberhaxed on November 3, 2020

I want to describe an anecdote, but want to use a word to describe the time period. So in physics when you move quickly enough to approach the speed of light, time breaks down and relativity kicks in. I want to describe a period in the past that I was moving so quickly at the time (such as through college) that the events seem to mesh together. Like a very, very fast moving object in relativity. Preferably a single word I can use such as

I was moving _____ so everything was unclear.

Or

I was moving like a ____ so everything seems to mesh together.

Or

I was so ____ that everything seems blurry now.

Naturally I can just give the long winded physics explanation, but that’s extremely verbose, and distracts from the subject matter because the need to explain what the metaphor is directly.

One Answer

I, personally, would just use a different metaphor; using speed about foggy memories is sort of confusing, and I doubt there's a good word to use; maybe something more like about how much was happening in your life?
