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.

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.

https://www.nhs.uk/mental-health/conditions/body-dysmorphia/ Most people have some mild apprehension about their body, such as one thinks their nose is too big, hair too straight or curvy.

Thread 'Did they discover another descendant of homo erectus?'

The study provides critical new insights into the African Humid Period, a time between 14,500 and 5,000 years ago when the Sahara desert was a green savanna, rich in water bodies that facilitated human habitation and the spread of pastoralism. Later aridification turned this region into the world's largest desert. Due to the extreme aridity of the region today, DNA preservation is poor, making this pioneering ancient DNA study all the more significant. Genomic analyses reveal that the...

Thread 'Warning of new opiod drug (nitazene) on the streets: Question re strength...'

Whenever these opiods are mentioned they usually mention that e.g. fentanyl is "50 times stronger than heroin" and "100 times stronger than morphine". Now it's nitazene which the public is told is everything from "much stronger than heroin" and "200 times stronger than fentany"! Do these numbers make sense at all? How do they arrive at them? Kill thousands of mice? En passant: nitazene have already been found in both Oxycontin pills and in street "heroin" here, so Naloxone is more...
