The Speed of Life

Our sense of time in aging.

Joseph Mazur

We Are A Bundle of Clocks

ould there be any connection between the internal clock system and pleasure stimuli, reinforcement from the secretion of dopamine?

The Lost Evidence of Truth

We often hold opinions without knowing why and presume them to be true without having definite evidence.

Sleep and Biorhythms

There is a connection between having a sense of time and having an insomniac night.

Where Has Time Been and Where Is It Going?

Some people say that we are living in a time of boredom, as they long for those bygone days when dinners with friends lingered late into the night. What do you say?

The Stake in Gambling With COVID-19 Is Life

It is time to go back to the question about the chances of contracting COVID-19 before getting the vaccine.

Why So Many Are Gambling with Contracting Covid-19

What must be said about the risks of side effects from a Covid vaccine.

The Risk of Not Being Vaccinated

Successful anti-vaccine disinformation could muddy our already-sullied understanding of risk. So what are the risks of not getting vaccinated?

Alice Ten Feet Tall

Tachysensia Is Another Name for Alice in Wonderland Syndrome

Tachysensia, Alice in Wonderland Syndrome, Todd’s Syndrome, and Rushes—are simply titles for remarkably similar symptomatic experiences related to migraines.

Attention, the Bonding of Time With Memory

Time sense comes from interconnected feedbacks from the way we live, from the vast storehouses of memories, and the amount of attention we paid to minor and major events.

Feeling Fast Feeling

Sometimes humans can perceive movements that do not align with familiarity, and those who experience it are searching for answers.

The Tachysensia Population Is Larger Than We Thought

Stories of tachysensia tend to share three features: movements speeding frighteningly fast, sounds much louder than expected, and hearing voices while knowing that they are not real.

Not All Times Are Alike

Why is hospital time different than home time? Why is it not the same as work time?

In The Time of Tachysensia

For those who have never experienced the frightening feeling of going through a tachysensia spell, it is enormously hard to understand, perhaps impossible.

Is There Such a Thing as Tachysensia?

What do we know about the rare but unsettling syndrome that gives time-rushing attacks?

Living in the Now With Choices for the Future

Can we alter our future to make it brighter by choosing reason over our confirmation biases?

The Indrawn Gaze of Time

How do we get from simple instinctual responsiveness to a sense of time, or at least to an awareness of the separation of past from present and present from future?

On Internal Perceptions of Time

Why do we sense the speed of time differently for different events and experiences?

Conjured Memories

The beauty of the mind is that it can give us a riveted, entranced impression that we are time-traveling backward when we are reminded of events of the past.

Our Time Sense Is Confounded by Awareness of Impending Death

Nearing the end of life is instrumental to one reason why we think time speeds up with age.

The Dividing Moment

The present, as an uncapturable instant, is something to think about further.

Time Might Be Integral With Consciousness

There seems to be little doubt that consciousness is formed and recorded through complex bundles of synchronized signals perpetually collected from all human senses.

Expectations in Cumulative Human Accomplishments

On the grand communal scale of societal modifications, accomplishments, enlightenment swings, and cultural shifts of the last 50 years, time seems to be moving faster.

The Me of Being White

Is it possible that celebrities have no color because yearnings of self-esteem through associations with fame can outplay racial prejudices?

The Me of Being White

Do knotty tangles of prejudices unravel with time and age, or do they strengthen? Time makes me think more deeply about everything in life. Getting older has that power.

Time Confused

How does one feel when routines end and new ones begin? Without a sense of ending, the rhythm of life gets confused.

Prague Clock

In Search of Endings

For an understanding of a sense of time, we must first have a sense of duration. Eventually, we will speculate about why we crave to know when the current pandemic will end.

The Body Clock

How do we explain the phenomenon of changes in the perception of time in aging?

Spotting Age

Do you feel that time seems to accelerate its pace with age? Some of that feeling might come from a dread of advancing age.
