Temporal illusions

Temporal illusions are cognitive phenomena where our perception of time differs from actual time passing. For example, moments of intense focus or emotion can make time seem to slow down, while engaging experiences can make time feel like it flies by. These illusions happen because our brain processes and interprets time based on various factors, including attention and memory. As a result, we may experience time in a way that doesn't reflect the actual time elapsed, highlighting the complex relationship between our perception and reality.
