How We Perceive Time | Sean Carroll
Are you the type of person that wonders "Why am I always late?" Of course, we can’t come up with a specific answer, but we can study how our brains and bodies measure the passage of time and how we perceive that passage. In this video, Sean Carroll discusses the way humans perceive time, which varies greatly from the steady ticking of a clock. By the way, did you know that even though we think we perceive the present moment, we actually live 80 milliseconds in the past? This video is episode 15 from the series Mysteries of Modern Physics: Time, presented by Sean Carroll.
