Time’s elasticity is part of how we process it.
Combining different approaches to time use presents an interdisciplinary picture of what the global human day looks like.
MDMA and cocaine are known to speed up people’s perception of time, while LSD can induce a sense of timelessness.
Time is, after all, at the heart of climate narratives.
Some time measurements, like months and years, use the movements of the moon and sun, respectively. But other time measurements, like the hour, aren’t clearly connected to astronomical phenomena.
Our findings suggest lockdown made it harder for us to accurately remember when significant events happened.
Edwina Preston reflects on the lost art of hanging out – which feeds creativity – and the need to reclaim time from the pressures of productivity. She draws on new books by Jenny Odell and Sheila Liming.
Beatriz Flamini may have set a new record for longest voluntary isolation.
The key to understanding why life is not explainable in current physics may be to reconsider our notions of time and information.
In an update of one of the most famous experiments in physics, scientists have used ‘slits in time’ to explore the properties of light and ultrafast optical materials.
Your experience of time is relative because it depends on motion – more specifically, your speed and acceleration.
Physics makes a lot of assumptions about time that may be getting in the way of understanding the fourth dimension.
🎧 Listen to the trailer for Great Mysteries of Physics, a new podcast.
Britain may have ditched the Roman calendar in 1752 but Cwm Gwaun continues to cling on to its old traditions.
Our perception of time changes as we age.
The majority of nations voted to scrap leap seconds – the little jumps added to UTC time to keep it aligned with Earth’s rotation. What can we expect moving forward?
The length of a day has critical impacts on our technologies, navigation, and more.
Your body follows a circadian rhythm that influences everything from how well your medications work to the best time for exercise.
Time dilation might seem like science fiction, but it’s not. There are astronauts circling the Earth right now who are experiencing it – though luckily nowhere near as much as Buzz Lightyear.
