Why Does Our Perception of Time Change?

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the continuous changes in time perception and the potential influence of relativity. One participant argues that time perception is subjective and can be influenced by chemicals, asserting that it is unrelated to the principles of relativity. Another contributor suggests that the brain's different parts could act as "observers" similar to those in relativity, proposing that subjective experiences might arise from fundamental laws. However, a moderator intervenes, stating that speculation without peer-reviewed studies is not permitted, indicating a need for scientific backing to continue the conversation.

Why time perception changes continuously...?
Could relativity be playing some role?

I think you completely misunderstand what relativity means in physics. Time perception i subjective and can be altered with chemicals. This has nothing to do with relativity.

I know relativity...
But I think just like relativistic nature of time for different observers it may be true for parts of our brains that perceive time... I mean what if u consider each of these parts as observers...
After all subjective experiences also must emerge from fundamental laws...

We do not allow speculation of this nature. Unless you have studies published in acceptable peer reviewed journals on this subject, we cannot allow a discussion on it. You may send me the studies you have so I can review them. and decide if the thread can be re-opened.
 

Thread 'What causes the asymmetry in a symmetrically developing organism?'

As child, before I got my first X-ray, I used to fantasize that I might have a mirror image anatomy - my heart on the right, my appendix on the right. Why not? (Caveat: I'm not talking about sci-fi molecular-level mirroring. We're not talking starvation because I couldn't process certain proteins, etc.) I'm simpy tlakng about, when a normal zygote divides, it technically has two options which way to form. Oen would expcet a 50:50 split. But we all have our heart on the left and our...
