Description
Experiencing time pass has to be one of the weirdest things. It surrounds
everything around us yet is incredibly inconsistent. One moment it’s
molasses slow, the next it was like it was never there. Scientists and
philosophers have tried to explain time, how our brain makes it possible,
for ions. Did we invent it? How do we all have such a unified experience
with time? Is time passing or are we passing time? “Now” is a squirmy
thing, the closer you get to it the harder it is to pin down. Time seems to
be a sort of creepy mystery quietly packed with discovery and at least for
me, it’s something I work hard at slowing way down.
