In The Matrix, the hero Neo could dodge bullets because time moved in slow motion for him during battles. Indeed, in the real world, people in danger often feel as if time slowed down for them. This warping of time apparently does not result from the brain speeding up from adrenaline when in danger. Instead, this feeling seems to be an illusion, scientists now find. picked by AutumnLotus 10 months ago tags time slow down emergencies slow warping illusion |

Time is no longer a simple line from the past to the future, in a four dimensional world consisting of three dimensions of space and one of time. Instead, Roger Highfield envisages the passage of history as curves embedded in a six dimensionals, with four of space and two of time. picked by DrNothing 12 months ago 4 comments edit related share science |
Great slow motion footage of a tank firing a round and following it along it's path. Interesting to see how much of its is actually spinning while it's in flight. picked by shredtone 2 years ago 1 comments edit related share plime.com |

Once upon a time, time was different. Supernova explosions in the early universe appear to age more slowly than today's supernovae, as if time itself was running slower back then, according to a recent series of astronomical observations. This cosmic time warp is exactly what should be produced by the expansion of the universe, confirming conventional big bang theory. picked by AutumnLotus 5 months ago 0 comments edit related share science |

According to Professor Paul Davies "Scientists have no doubt whatever that it is possible to build a time machine to visit the future". Since the publication of Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity in 1905, few, if any, scientists would dispute that time travel to the future is perfectly possible. picked by shredtone 2 years ago 0 comments edit related share science |

Dyslexia marked by poor reading fluency — slow and choppy reading — may be caused by disorganized, meandering tracts of nerve fibers in the brain, according to researchers. Their study, using the latest imaging methods, gives researchers a glimpse of what may go wrong in the structure of some dyslexic readers’ brains that makes it difficult to integrate the information needed for... read full post picked by AutumnLotus 10 months ago 3 comments edit related share plime.com |
