So that's why music always seams shorter the second time you listen to it.

I thought I did 20 seconds... and this video is 3 hours long! I'll watch it again yesterday.

Does it bother anyone else that he said he wanted you to twirl around, but then he had you hop on one foot?

At first I thought this was part of the experiment - something to do with the impact of expectation, perhaps.

It was definitely part of the experiment. He wanted you to think about what time perception you experienced, people who have more short term problems memory would remember the later on (hop) and people who didn’t would remember the earlier one (twirl)

I got offended when he said 'hopefully'. 😅

I think another reason why time appears to slow down during a car accident or falling from a great height is that your brain is being hit with adrenalin, making you process information at a faster rate, in the hope that you can use this information to survive an apparently dangerous situation. However, I find that often, newer experiences tend to feel shorter, because repeating the same experience is boring, and boring events feel longer compared with how quickly we wish they'd be over.

So that's why time feels slower when I am prepping for an exam at the last minute

Considering how old this video is, how education is a blessing, and realizing how science has never been implemented into the culture, how important it is, specifically how important time Perception is, and how no one even cares to know about science, still baffles me. I love this stuff, I breathe this, I live this

So basically even if you live till you're 80 it doesn't mean anything unless you made those years count by doing new experiments. The only way to truly live and feel like you lived those years is by making memories... those memories can make you feel you lived longer... I like this :)

i just love ted ed very educative i learn something interesting every day. thank you guys.

Great lesson !

amazing video and explanation!

In my first live presentation as a drummer, i felt i played perfectly fine. when i looked back at a video recording i was rushing hard through the whole thing. made me feel pretty bad, damn time dilation

I was in a car accident, I'll describe it: My left foot pushed down on its pedal, followed shortly thereafter by the right. I turned left onto 3rd street and regained consciousness in a hospital. Didn't even get to experience perceived time dilation, damn memory =[

What if our individual experience of time is actually correct, in spite of it being different from everyone else's. We set the time standard as a clock and then assume human experience of time is in error, but what if it's not? If time is relative, dependent on the speed you are traveling, (according to einstein's relativity) who's to say it's not dependant on other things too? What if we actually live at varying speeds, not just in illusion but in reality? Science depends on experience, but here we run into a conflict of two experiences, the experience of changes in the clock, and our own experience of time. The current scientific view systematically invalidates the individual experience, and trusts the clock. But I think it's quite possible to build a theory which embraces both the individual experience of time, and measurements of the clock. Empiricism, or knowledge from experience has been corrupted, and now we use our beliefs about our past experience in order to invalidate other parts of our experience. Our beliefs about our experience (like our assumption that we perceive time incorrectly) has become more "true" than our true experience itself, which is that we perceive time differently at different times, and differently from each other. And the clock in this case can be very valuable if we use it to contrast our different experiences of time, rather than to invalidate them.

+Nathan Dyck I am really intrigued by that. If you're open to a discussion on this: a lot of things are self-experiences, it's true, and what's to say everything around you isn't a constructed illusion? You can only trust your perception. On the other hand, universal things that are experienced by us all, like the sun rising for a new day, or the sun setting, does happen after certain intervals; and we have a measurement of time, it's almost like a language, which we communicate with each other. Maybe the measurement is just a construct of looking at time in A particular way that avoids confusion in communication. If our self-perceptions of time are accurate, it's beneficial on an individual level?

My god! Dude, you just made the best comparison I ever read!

OH MY GOSH I was going to say thirty, but then I settled on 26. I got really excited

I cant believe that I actually did this at 4am in the morning and also underestimating the time and not overestimating... 💀

I GUESSED 27 SECONDS AND KINDA SCREAMED WHEN HE SAID THE TIME AM I A SUPERHERO YET

Its seems that when we look back, the time passed just flew by, but when we look forward it seems like an eternity

The video started while I was on another tab, I thought something had happened to my computer. God, when the voice said "hello, human..." it made my heart sink...

mee too ! we are awesome!

Metabolism, the older you get, seems to shorten time (maybe because you do less by comparison). It seems time accelerates when you see your peers or even younger people getting old. Sometimes people get old very fast. There is, however, an apparent contradiction to that. Time also flies when you are having fun. Even though a lot is happening, time seems to go by fast. I estimated 15 seconds because I know people overestimate and I also didn't hop on one leg and bark like a dog.

I did all the jumping and barking and I thought it was only 15 seconds. In contrast to this argument, unfamiliar experiences are percieved faster since you do not get bored and time flyes. Whereas if you are waiting for a doctor appointment in the office, every second feels like one hour!

same here... im doing some research bc when i was little i was a sleepwalker and my parents always woke me up, and i was so confused, I heard everything in 2x, i even walk and move so fast, that's why my parents always had a bad time catching me, was so scary for me, eventually I concluded that was just sound hallucinations, but nowadays as a grown up i can't tolerate 2x speed, nor the 1.5x speed, i feel like is too overwhelming... i wish I could know why or find an explanation.

Nice video. Philochrony is the theory that describes the nature of time and demonstrates its existence. Time is magnitive: objective, Imperceptible and measurable.

My intuition told me it was 27 seconds, but then I thought analytically and chose 23 seconds. Utilize your intuition, guys.

This video waited 9 years for me to see it

perfect

omg awesome! now i can make my holiday seem longer :D

30 seconds - not bad!

This was a very interesting video. first off because I really like David Eagleman, great author so if you like books on the brain give Incognito a try. It's crazy that by looking at or experiencing more information while doing something like that can increase the perceived time of the event.

I guessed 25 seconds. Yay! I have good time perception.

I guessed 25 seconds. Michael also touches on this topic in one of the VSause videos. I can't remember exactly which though.

2:05 I guessed 15...

very interesting

As Blake wrote, 'Eternity in an hour'. :)

Wow - wow - interesting.

You always have a dream. Yes, sometimes when you don't remember anything from it, than it might seem so. :)

I guessed 15 seconds. So I underestimated. Ironically I feel as if I process things faster which means that time with technically feel slower to me. However I usually watch a video at 2.0 speed but for the sake of this experiment I set it to 1.5 perhaps that contributed to underestimating. Lol.

@ 4:10 its a "tobacco water pipe" 18mm downstem used in the little art piece of the airplane :)

27 seconds... i'm actually proud of myself!

I guessed 20 secs. Its so cute but also amazing that birds might value their time here long also, but we wouldn't. But a bird has its own preferences and experiences to go from. Cute birds

can i slow down time using this please answer

Haha we guess it's less time coz we are sitting in front of the screen and watching the video! It's not us who're jumping by one foot or mimicking the dog bark :D

I don't think so, the mind works different when we're talking about dreams. Even, the time that you spend on a dream is bigger than the time that you actually dreamed.

So if you want to live a long life, than do more exiting and new and different things.

This is literally the most terrifying thing like what

The title of the video spoiled the experiment for me. Interesting video, and also very interesting art style.

I guessed 27 seconds,... but I am wearing a headset and did not follow the instructions, and I am not sure if I would have if it was on loud speaker.

I made the tremendous mistake of watching this video while drunk. Now my roommates want to know why I was barking and slamming into walls at two in the morning.

I paused the video to do the hop and accidently remembered where I left off,so when I sat back down and looked at the video I already knew how long :l but it felt like 33 seconds.

I'm wearing headphones. Maybe try this later.

Hey i just saw you. You were on the video!

DONT READ THE COMMENTS BEFORE WATCHING! Managed to ruin it for myself... I used to have a 96 polo as a field car, i was in it with my brother when he took a corner too fast, headed towards a fence, so steered away from the turn - right towards a huge 2 tonne slab of concrete! The time between seeing the block and hitting it felt like 10 seconds! Was closer to one... She never drove again ='[

Also, time flies when you're having fun. But entertainment is not related to information intake. That's probably some totally different effect, idk.

You dream everynight, even if you don't remember it.

Its nighty degrees in my room. Yeh, I aint getting up and jumping on one foot^^

I said 9/10 seconds, am i going to die?

i thought the experiment was to see how far you would go :)

i guessed 25 seconds, i am shook

i literally guessed exactly right lol

I said 20 seconds but OK :)

Guessed 30 too!

Everyone has dreams, but you just don't remember it some/most-times upon waking.

I guessed 30 secs. And judging by the comments from others which I didn't notice before taking the test, it seems the experiment demonstrated in the video failed terribly!

I actually guessed 26 seconds lol. Nice

Joke's on you, it didn't work on me because I hop on one foot and bark all the time.

Is this temporal awareness?

Fuck yeah, David Eagleman.

I actually under estimated. Ha, nothing new. I always think I can do things faster than I can.

i guessed from 20 to 30 so not bad

My cat is sitting at the table with me and she is very confused. by the hop hop bark bark sounds.

Is that why studying feels like it takes forever? :P

lol did anyone else do the things he said? I did and my was really confused.

Is this why when you wake up, if you didn't have a dream, it can feel like it didn't take any time?

Yoooo I guessed 27 seconds! 😂😂

2:05 I said 38 seconds... exactly 10 seconds off. Also, why did he say "twirl around", and then 'hop on one foot and bark like dog'?

If you want to keep from getting old, take the ingredient resveratrol along with other supplements for your eyes, skin, mind and heart.

I guessed 35 secs. So it was pretty close

Everybody dreams, not everybody is able to remember all their dreams though

At first, i was actually hopping on one foot, when he asked me to bark i was like, fuck this, hes fucking with me! xD

i guessed 20 seconds

so we experience a type of lag ?

I thought I was being trolled but I still hoped and barked like a dog, fun stuff, felt like a 1m 30s.

holy crap, listened to this while my computer froze and thought i'd be hacked by some absolute creep.

Planking dilates time for me

26 seconds. I guess I'm just good.

In other words, regardless of your perception through Time. You do experience Time.

I guessed 30 seconds lol. Overshot, but by very little.

I thought I had 20 seconds! Close!

i'm the only one how didn't finish this video !!

so why do boring things seem to last forever?

3:29 or the sound of your scream

4:13 a shrimp as an ear

30 seconds, pretty close

20 seconds, hmm... so basically I'm the opposite so I should sit on my arse all day. Glad to see I'm doing the right thing.

the title gave it away, i counted :S

I guessed 25 secs. Not bad brain. Not bad.

45

fuck....is the only thing that comes to mind

I thought it was half a minute, so 30 seconds.

:D i like time...
