Making Time
Why Time Seems to Pass at Different Speeds and How to Control it
An exploration of the different perceptions of time, the five basic 'laws' of psychological time, and the factors which cause them.
Why does time seem to drag when we're bored or in pain, or to go slowly when we're in unfamiliar environments? Why does it slow down dramatically in accidents and emergency situations, when sportspeople are "in the zone', or in higher states of consciousness? MAKING TIME explains why we have these different perceptions of time. It puts forward five basic "laws" of psychological time and uncovers the factors which cause them. It uses evidence from modern physics and unusual states of consciousness to suggest that our normal sense of time is an illusion, "created" by our minds.
