Fascinating!

Very interesting! Explains why when we’re bored, that time is so slow. And why we’re stressed and in a hurry, it seems to speed up even more and the perception we’re getting less done. Also, when I was in a car wreck a few years back, the feeling that time was in slow motion as I was whipping around.
