What If Your Sense of Time Is Completely Made Up?

Right now, you think you know what time it is. But the clock was never the point. Your brain doesn't measure time — it measures memory, and memory is nothing like an archive. In this video, you'll discover why a boring afternoon can vanish in seconds while a single moment of danger can stretch into what feels like slow motion. You'll learn why childhood summers felt endless while entire years now blur together, and why neuroscience suggests your sense of "right now" is actually a delayed reconstruction your brain builds after the fact. Along the way, you'll meet the real research behind these illusions, from David Eagleman's work on time perception to Benjamin Libet's unsettling experiments on decision-making.
