Interesting question that one. I heard it asked on the wireless the other night (for those youngsters out there … a wireless refers to a radio, not an Internet tech). My grandparents had a great wireless, it was cutting edge, completely wire free and you powered it by winding it up periodically … but i digress.
I’m sure most people have experienced time slowing down when something dramatic happens in their life. I have a few times. It does feel like you enter a slow motion state for a few seconds. This must be when people say their lives flash before them. Time must slow down if their whole life passes before their eyes !!!!
Is this effect produced by your brain speeding up and making time slow down? Or maybe time is relative to an individual and not to the universe. Or maybe we can never understand things like this, the human is not evolved enough yet to work these things out.
Personally I’m not a great believer in the whole concept of time. At the end of the day (a sarcastic time reference) time is something invented by humans to help them make sense of life. I doubt there is very much that humans have got right in the context of existence, so I doubt time exists at all. It’s just something like religion, made up by humans to help them get through life.
So I don’t really care if time slows down or not. I don’t really care about much actually. I’m a laid back sort of guy, who watches the world go by.
