Why Does Our Perception of Time Change?

AI Thread 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.

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.

I am reading Nicholas Wade's book A Troublesome Inheritance. Please let's not make this thread a critique about the merits or demerits of the book. This thread is my attempt to understanding the evidence that Natural Selection in the human genome was recent and regional. On Page 103 of A Troublesome Inheritance, Wade writes the following: "The regional nature of selection was first made evident in a genomewide scan undertaken by Jonathan Pritchard, a population geneticist at the...
