Free Fall Experiment - Time Perception

who said it didn't exist?
i thought the question was
"does our perception of time change in a fight or flight situation?"

we MADE it measurable mr.physics

Yeah and sunglasses LOL

i love how the scientist is wearing a lab jacket....this is stupid

how does this prove time doesn't exist? that's just retarded, time obviously exists because it's measurable. there's 24 hours in a day, 7 days in a week, you take 14 years of your life before going through puberty, i can run a mile in 6 minutes. what it proves is that time is not a line, time can be warped by senses and in other experiments it can be warped by other things

scientist? numpty...why the white coat? he so clever, but says times is perceived as slowing down but its speeding up in relation to the order of the world around the subject. Whats interesting is this action of increased activity in a specific part of the brain goes part the way to defining the self and everything else body, senses etc are add ons.

on the way down theres gonna be lots of distracting things happening... like.. your falling.
LOL!!

If you believe in time machines, just believe in God

This experiment was on a BBC Four documentery called Time but they only used the numbers on a flashing display which was set so that it flashed too fast for the person to read but as they fell time for them slowed down and they could read the numbers. Only problem was that they only got close confusing similar numbers and whatching it you could guess the number as it didnt really flash fast enough. There was also a article on this sort of thing in the New Scientist

Oh I read about this and was DAMN interested. Didn't know about the video.
Read Philip K. Dick boys and girls. Martian Time slip.

Interesting Video! Needs more study in that area, the brain can do endless this that we seriously NEED TO WAKE UP AND LEARN PEOPLE.
Peace

Dr. Eagleman is my biopsychology professor at Rice University, and he is simply the most awesome professor ever! I'm gonna ask him sometime after class if I can do one of his experiments similar to this one!

i would totally pee in my pants if i did that.
freaky!!

Alot of speculation, but in the end wheres the data?
That some of the subjects reported it took twice as long as it actually did? That hardly proves anything.

This prove the time do not exist
because ,the time what he remember is more than the time during the fall.
I think he split the time for co exist with your memories. I belive in time machines =)
