When I started playing football as a wide receiver I remember several times when the ball was passed to me that time seemed to slow way down and it took forever for the football to get to me.
We know that time slows down as we get closer to the speed of light, but obviously I'm not traveling at any greater speed. So what is causing time to slow down? I've also heard of this time slow down happening when people have a car accident.
Maybe this is more of a psychology question than a physics question, but I'm just wondering if there is a physics explanation for this phenomenon.
Thanks
