What’s more real: time itself, or your perception of it?
We made this video in partnership with Unlikely Collaborators.
David Eagleman, PhD, Brian Greene, PhD, and Dean Buonomano, PhD, explore one of science’s strangest questions: what is time?
From Einstein’s spacetime theory to the brain’s internal clock, they examine whether time is an external property of the universe or a mental construct. By connecting physics and neuroscience, they unpack the idea that how we experience time may differ entirely from how it actually works.
