Does time pass differently in the Backrooms, or is it the same? Like a second there is a millisecond/hours here, or what? Unless if it's the thing where you wake up in the Frontrooms is actually true, where you wake up the next morning as if nothing happened? Which one?
I can't remember where I read it but I remember somewhere that time passes differently than in our world That's why it's good to bring a watch.
unfortunately we (I don't think) have been told how much time in the backrooms relate to how much time is in our world.

I wouldn't be surprised if time in the Backrooms passes in a non-congruent manner than in the Frontrooms. And time might pass in a subjective way, different for every person.
In other words, a century in the Frontrooms may pass in a few seconds in the Backrooms, & a few seconds may pass in the Frontrooms while a century passes. And if someone who noclipped into the Backrooms in, say, 1970, & finds only a month passes, this does not prevent someone who noclipped in 1980 & finds a century has passed. So if you meet someone at one point, then lose contact with that other person, what you experience as a few months may be years — or centuries — for the other. And vice versa.
Simply put, time likely works differently across the two realms. In fact, time may act differently across different levels, and even between different people in the same level. In a place so distorted and anomalous, anything is possible, and signs of temporal distortions have been seen all over. Even no-clipping has been shown to have time anomalies, as is shown in the new phenomena 5 page. There are also implications in some places that some people don't age, or at least, age at unnaturally slow rates. This may not be true for everyone, in which case, it showcases the strange way in which time is distorted there.
In my tale - "Anne's Escape" (2 of 3) [ http://backrooms-wiki.wikidot.com/annes-escape ], Anne Dunne and Amy Cochrane learn something about time in the Backrooms. The conversation takes place in the present. Amy looks to be about 18 years old:
Amy began, "I no-clipped into the Backrooms on my eighteenth birthday. It was Thursday, July 7, 1977."
Anne did some math in her head and said, "You look fabulous for being old enough to collect Social Security."
Most stories about the Fae and other realms show time passing differently.

This will be a dosey so hold on.
time is not fixed it can change depending on the object you are on, the backrooms i would assume would have different times.
I will explain how having different time works. lets use a time box for example lets say for evey second you are in there a day passes, lets assume you are in there for a minute, to you you traveled 2 months into the future in the time period of a minute, to others you have been in the box for 2 months(great prank). You would not starve to death because you are 2 months younger than everyone else, you only spent 1 minute in not 2 months. Lets say a longer period like 1 year: after you run out of rations, you open the door the year is like 88423 (if my math is right) and you see… [Data expunged, courtesy of the scp foundation] wow you say to yourself, this will be interesting
Hope this answers any time displacement questions.
does anyone see these forum signatures, also why does this have more space than the description
In my Phenomena, I'm suggesting that the backrooms is on a different time line than the frontrooms. However, that doesn't mean it is considered canon. In other words, it could be, it could not be. It is for you to decide what you consider canon. If you want the backrooms to be "on a different time" than the frontrooms, go for it. If you want them to run on the same time, then go right ahead. It doesn't matter.
