time and perception
Time is a way we measure and sequence events, giving structure to our experiences. Perception is how our brain interprets sensory information from our environment, shaping how we experience time. For example, when engaged in enjoyable activities, time may seem to pass quickly, while during boredom or distress, it can feel slow. Our perception of time is influenced by factors like attention, memory, and emotional state. Although time itself is a constant dimension, our subjective experience of it varies, highlighting the complex relationship between how we perceive events and their objective measurement.
