Have you been feeling COVID time? WHAT DAY IS IT?! Let me know how you're feeling, and come find me on Instagram and Twitter: @DrJoeHanson @okaytobesmart
dude I did the same thing and when I read the comment I was like "Oh crap it is November," then I read the comment that said "It's December" and I was like "OH CRAP IT IS DECEMBER!"
I’ve noticed this!! Whenever I move into a new environment, days feel like forever then once I get used to a new routine, time passes by much quicker! I like this explanation better than the “time speeds up as we age” theory which states time speeds up because for every year we live, one year becomes a smaller fraction of a whole (lifetime)
Yeah that’s damn true. This month i realised that time passed quicker from 2020 when I got my own phone and using it more often. My 2022 also went very fast bcz I attended 8 hrs schl and 2 coachings each day and I came back at night and slept . I think this made my 2022 run fast…. I always came home at 8 o clock daily after schl and coaching which let me stay out of free times…
Had a person call in on my call center Friday. Told a familiar story, so I said, "Yes, that was me who spoke with you yesterday." Only I couldn't find where the call had come in on yesterday's table. After some digging, we're both stunned for a minute to find out I had talked to her that Tuesday and both of us were missing like two days of time.
I learned after second time not to use straw if I'm going to sip it. Now the problem is that without eyes I just pour the drink to my lap while trying to sip.
Yeah musicians are better at estimating that. Plus 120 bpm is a very common tempo so it's quite easy to count out close to a second if you're intimate with that speed. 60bpm is quite slow though. Almost as slow as we can recognize as an actual beat.
I LOVE the idea of time being akin to terrain or physical location. Time definitely feels like it's "behind" me, but I really like the idea of time being uphill… I gotta WORK to get to that future! Thanks, Joe!
But you can't roll back down the hill... and the future is coming whatever you do. If you sit at home doing nothing, or go out and do something, even if you go into a coma or even die, time's not going to wait for you. It will keep going at the same rate regardless of _anything,_ anything at all, to do with you or anyone else. If the entire human race fell unconscious, and even if they never woke up, _time wouldn't change._ Not actual time. Nothing we do can change it. You can't go down the hill and you can't stop going up, which doesn't sound at all like an actual hill. If anything, it works better the other way around.
I was going to therapy the first half of quarantine, i was telling him how time felt like it was going by so fast. He was very confused at that, looking back i thrived in quarantine. I was going on runs every morning, doing yoga every night, cleaning my eating, lessening my spending and going out in nature more. AND raking in unemployment. I felt so good i dropped my therapist. Best decision ever. I miss it honestly.
Thank you for mentioning ptsd. When I was depressed, days felt super long and I hated it. It felt like it was too much for me. Honestly though I didn’t even sleep back then so it gave me extra hours to the day. Now when I don’t have depression, time goes by so much faster and I am super happy about it.
Even when I walked a 500 meter trip from the bus stop to home, it felt like it was too long and I wanted to lay down in the ground. I can’t believe I was thinking about doing that, laying on my own yard on the wet ground when my apartment was right there.
I remember when my first child was born, my wife was not progressing, so they had her hooked up to a machine that monitored her contractions more than normal. I sat in front of that machine, at my wife's bedside, and watched it. It seemed like an eternity between contractions. But the whole experience went by very fast. I experienced each moment in slow motion (as much as Joe will allow me to say that), but the entire experience on fast forward. About kids experiencing time slower, I've heard a different idea. If you look at an 8 year old child, the time between their 7th and 8th birthdays is 12.5% of their life. If you look at a 50 year old adult, the time between their 49th and 50th birthdays is only 2% of their life.
This was debunked once and in that video they explained what really happens. Your brain has constant activity but with time and age, this activity slows down ever so slightly but considerably. So say for example you experience 50 pulses per second in your brain when you're a teen but experience 48 during your adulthood. But 50 pulses is what your brain recognises as 1 second. What feels like 1 sec for you when you're an adult is actually 1 + a very small fraction. I'll share the video here if I ever find it.
@@itsnotyasir I wouldn't say that video debunks the "percentage of life" idea. Derick didn't provide any clinical studies that show otherwise. But, he made some very good points, and I have a lot of respect for Derick, so I can put aside my confirmation bias and say that his explanation is more likely than the "percentage of life" idea. (I was never really "married" to the idea, anyway. It was something I had heard before, so I shared it as an story. I never meant for it to be presented as fact.)
Honestly since reflecting on time since March, I feel like a completely different person. I truly think quarantine has changed me as a person. It feels like years ago hearing my professors say “guys you might wanna take your things home with you in case we don’t come to school next week”
During this whole video, I was working myself up to write a comment noting the absence of any Jeremy Bearimy reference. And then, to my absolute delight, it finally came. My faith remains unbroken.
I shared this with my students! And since they are getting it in a scence subject, I am highly appreciative of the references that you have inclued. It is such a nice way to give them a little bit of fun but packed with scientific backing! Thank you for the extra efforts !
I always figured time seemed slower as a kid because we had less time to compare it to. Like, one month as a 27-year-old doesn't seem like a huge amount of time, but when you're 6 years old one month is a much larger percent of your total life up to that point.
7:51 I think this way of looking at time is my favourite. The older you get the higher you are on this huge mountain. And when you look down you can see your past which may seem tempting but you don't give up and keep going higher.
I’ve been experiencing this and didn’t know how to sum it up in words. This video explained exactly what I been feeling since COVID-19 hit and we all been stuck at home. The days go by slow but at the same time time is flying faster than before. Strange but true.
The fact that he actually posted this on a Tuesday, also i experience “covid time” all the time, even during not quarantine I rarely go outside, corona barely changed anything for me
Joe: "In Vietnamese... - the 'before time' which is known to us and seen clearly in our memories - is in front of us, not behind us..." Me being a Vietnamese: "What is he talking about?" I have no idea.
For me this year has felt really fast, despite being stressful. My sleep pattern was totally destroyed, sometimes sleeping until 10 PM, sometimes being awake for over a day. The result is that days sometimes seem to pass like minutes and it kind of sucks because I feel like I have lost so much time just from how fast it goes.
Oh my god, the people saying times been slower in 2020, covid was new, when I watched anime for the first time, new experience, thats why is lasted so long. My god I love this channel
This is how I experienced time when I had a depression. In fact, at the very start I thought I had it again because some things where so similar like the experience of time, the isolation and the feeling of grief. I'm sorry you all have to experience a little bit of what it feels like to be depressed but I'm happy it's new to most of you.
When we have a listening test in class and we can listen to it twice, the second time listening always seems shorter! This video explains it, because the experience isn’t ‘new’ anymore.
As you said the perception of time differs by emotion but if a person is not only used to but actually not affected by it through adapting you are able to act and feel happy.
For a minute I thought this was going to go the way of the 7 day week video, but it ended up staying ‘on the rails’ so to speak. The 7 day week video remains my all-time favorite.
There is also a great motivation in this: if seeing/learning new things prolongs our perceived time passage, learning can at least extend your perceived time on earth
In Vietnam, there’s a term called “Nhìn lại quá khứ”, which’s directly translated into “Looking back at the past”, and “Hướng tới tương lai” - “Looking forward into the future”. And in my experience, I always think the past is behind me and the future is ahead of me. So I quite disagree to what he said at 7:36. Good video, just a minor nitpick. (Sorry for my bad English)
I think what he meant was the past is "trước đó" and future is "sau đó", it's depend on the context. Also Joe & team are foreigners and phong ba bão táp không bằng ngữ pháp Việt Nam mà 😁😁
Neil was perfectly implemented. He just swooped into a space no one ask him to enter and explained stuff that kinda is related to the topic but still has no place in the situation. All that while trying to sound as smart as possible.
Same and kinda feel sad too it's my last years of high school which i always looked forward to make new memories but everything is doomed I am sad ......and i Don't even know if i will be friends with whom I am friends right now in the future.
When I was coming onto an MDMA experience there was a minute or 2 when everything was sped up, as in the video part when it's sped up (even the pitch of sounds was higher). My perception was the same, it was simply that everything around me was sped up. It wasn't a memory glitch, it happened in actual time. It freaked me tf out.
I watched the good place who knows how many times before the pandemic but I have no idea what the reference was. Probably because it feels like over approximately 4.7 years
Same here! Times felt like this for ages, sometimes I worry because my life has been like this for years and hasn't changed during the pandemic and everyone is saying how much of an impact its had on their mental health.
I’m disabled, too, and I don’t work outside my house nor do I go places very often, yet I feel like time passes extremely fast and I never get everything done at home no matter what.😂I wonder why…
Gosh, thought I was the only one confused with time perception during pandemic - seems like it was yesterday, yet like years ago - thanks a lot for video!
I remember trying to explain to my grandparents that they would literally live longer if they sought out new experiences, and picked up hobbies. They never understood.
@@pattsw not true. If you give up on life, life gives up on you. When an elderly person deliberately stops being able to experience joy, they literally die faster.
@@gabor6259 You're not wrong, but comments count as interaction for the algorithm, pushing a video's rating higher and making it more likely to be suggested to people who might not follow the channel yet.
Ooh! I think that happened in Doctor Who though. Something about memories trickling down along your timeline or something, and that's what déjà vu is. I think it's when I dreamt about something similar.
In the King Arthur legends Merlin lived backwards in time. The future was the past for him and the past was the future for him. In other words he remembered the future but the past was all new to him.
6:35 I pointed backwards but only because that is where a door is and I was on the other side of the door a few minutes ago so that is where I was in the past.
I opened my eyes at the exact moment he told us to open our eyes. I'm not a musician or anything. I just practiced way too many times in front of the microwave
00:06 - If it is 23 hours and 56 minutes, why is the clock of exact 24 hours? We gain 4 minutes every day that means? Edit - Found this explanation. Stil confused. (If our definition of a day was truly based on one complete rotation of the Earth on its axis - a 360 degree spin - then a day would be 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds. This is nearly 4 minutes shorter than our 24-hour standard day. However, our concept of a “day” has long been based on the natural cycle of sunlight - a period of daylight followed by a period without daylight. The mismatch of nearly 4 minutes is because the Earth must rotate more than 360 degrees between one dawn and the next. As you know, the Earth experiences two simultaneous motions - it not only spins on its axis, but it also travels in orbit around the sun. In a period of one day, the Earth travels about 1/365 of the way around the sun (because it takes about 365 days to go all the way around, which is how we define a year). This daily progress in the Earth’s orbit is almost exactly a degree (defined as 1/360 of a circle). Therefore the Earth has to spin an extra degree in order to line up with the sun again each day. The result is that one complete cycle of sunlight and darkness - one day - represents a rotation of about 361 degrees, not 360 degrees. Although a year consists of 365 and a quarter days, the Earth actually spins 366 and a quarter times during a year. From the standpoint of sunrises and sunsets, one complete spin is negated each year by the journey around the sun.)
24 hours is how long it takes for the sun to return to the same spot in the sky. Earth’s rotation takes sightly less time (because we are also orbiting the sun)
Time is definitely a concept. This reminds me of how different films seem short or long relative to their run time. I notice that when a film seemed longer but it only runs like 90-100 mins, and I reflect on the story and events in the film, there tends to be more events in that film. And on the other end of that, I've also noticed that some longer films that might run for 120+ mins seemed to go by quickly. In those films, there tends to be fewer but more major events that took longer portions of the film to get through. Also, I've always disagreed with the maxim of "time flies when you're having fun" and the notion that it drags out when your not. In my experience, I've had great times that seemed to pass quickly and also ones that seemed to last forever. And the same for not so great times. I think there are other factors that determines that effect. Might have to do with how your focusing in that moment.
*I was expecting a video about relativity, but instead got a topic I’m less familiar with. This made me learn more, great video.* It’s cool how our brains have evolved to survive, but those processes that help us survive create interesting situations like the ones described here. Does anyone think that being a musician (which involves knowing time) counteracts the brain doing this?
@@daviddavids2884 You probably used google translate, was there something lost in translation? Music is definitely a temporal art form, and there are many temporal elements in music.
I remember as a kid i used to play with same fast and slow effects used here while watching movies. I actually enjoyed it more than watching the movie itself. Don't know why i suddenly remembered it while watching this video.
I remember seeing a video about written language and our perception of the environment as it pertained to the movie Arrival. Interesting concept, especially since time is not linear, only our perception of it is.
Perfect! 7:35: When I first started taking Chinese I kept confusing how to say “the next” 下个 and “the previous” 上个, which are indeed literally, the “above” one and the “below” one. That was back in 2005, so I’ve got it down pat now, but I had never made the correlation to writing top to bottom! Cool!
When he said point to the past I just felt confused; my thought was: "I can't point to the past, it no longer exists" And when Joe pointed backwards I realized that I, again am special.
I felt the same, and now I thought about it more, I think that the past - or at least my past - is inside me. Now is around me, and from there all different futures are paths in different directions from where I am.
I did the same, mildly confused for a second, then couldn't really identify where the past "is" and ended pointing vaguely upward? I almost thought to point inward but then decided that doesn't make any sense. This whole comment is annoying my brain now.
I curled my index finger back into my palm in a gesture that could be seen as pointing in reverse. I can't establish a fix on the direction that is 90° from up-down, left-right and front-back.
When you're young, say 5 years old, and you become a year older you add 1/5th. When you're 50 years old you add 1/50th. Hence the years seem to go faster when you're getting older.
I did the pointing of time with you, and I pointed to left. My husband pointed behind him, as you anticipated. He explained that he pointed behind himself because he perceived himself as the focal point of the time experience. I pointed to the left as in a linear “timeline”. My background is in physics so maybe this is why, but I thought of myself as an observer not as an experiencer. Maybe it’s not cultural differences alone that affect the perception of time, or at least the pictorial representation of time in our minds. What do you think? What do you make of this?
4:39 I used to have a standard phrase (Perceived in college & work years) "A window of opportunity is often 3 or 4 times larger on the front end than looking backwards afterwards. usually having to do with vacations. Great aspirations and freedoms, and forlorn discouragement and un-accomplishments. NEVER LONG ENOUGH ! ! !
@DrJoeHanson, I just wanted to say that this video is AMAZING. I came here to learn how to make my days feel longer and more fulfilling. Thanks to this video, I learned why time seems to slow when we are children; because we are taking everything in for the very first time, which causes our brain to work harder and create memories. What I need to do to make my days feel longer and more fulfilling, is learn something new every day and make memories every day! Thank you so much! I also greatly appreciate that you explained how different cultures perceive the past, present and future (or future, present and past). My knowledge and so many other people's knowledge of the world is so skewed because our influences are limited, therefore our knowledge of everyone else in the world is narrowed. It is refreshing to be reminded that there is SO much on our planet and so much to learn and fill each day of our lives with. I now need to remind myself more often by staying in touch with the rest of the world (as much as I am able to! Educational videos, videos from other people in the world, pen pals and one day, to travel)! Thank you for the awesome video!!!
re: the 7 seconds thing - iv gotten into the habit of counting seconds in my head when i make espresso at home, and so my second counting method is incredibly accurate. Therefore, I opened my eyes the instant the bell dinged. I use the "one/two/three Mississippi" method
@@cmarley314 yeh thats also a common one! its surprisingly accurate isnt it? I often have a stopwatch going alongside me when making my coffee, and when I glance at it after about 20-25 seconds, I find that the counting my head is almost 100% accurate. Might be off by a few tenths of a second, but over 25 secs, i reckon thats pretty good!
I start at zero, but don't say/think it: "one-thousand one, one-thousamd two, one-thousand three, ..." I'm accurate to within one second per minute, but after 5-6 minutes I get bored or distracted and lose track completely.

January - July: lasts 2 seconds
August - December: lasts 10000 years
To me it's the opposite, once you hit September, you are already in Christmas
EXACTLYYYY
May - August 10000 years
September- April 5 seconds
it's the opposite for me
For me it is the other way around
7:51 I think this way of looking at time is my favourite. The older you get the higher you are on this huge mountain. And when you look down you can see your past which may seem tempting but you don't give up and keep going higher.
I’ve been experiencing this and didn’t know how to sum it up in words. This video explained exactly what I been feeling since COVID-19 hit and we all been stuck at home. The days go by slow but at the same time time is flying faster than before. Strange but true.
Whoever's idea it was to drop a Good Place reference in the title of this video...I see you and I appreciate you.
Damn I don't get it
The fact that he actually posted this on a Tuesday, also i experience “covid time” all the time, even during not quarantine I rarely go outside, corona barely changed anything for me

Joe: "In Vietnamese... - the 'before time' which is known to us and seen clearly in our memories - is in front of us, not behind us..."
Me being a Vietnamese: "What is he talking about?"
I have no idea.
Same here
I mean he means “Hom truoc” and “Hom sau”. Truoc is In front of, Sau is Behind.
Thien Vu Could you help to explain please?
Me neither
He also made reference to South America using in front and behind for past and future respectively and I've no idea lol
For me this year has felt really fast, despite being stressful. My sleep pattern was totally destroyed, sometimes sleeping until 10 PM, sometimes being awake for over a day. The result is that days sometimes seem to pass like minutes and it kind of sucks because I feel like I have lost so much time just from how fast it goes.
This. I’ve been telling my family the exact same thing. I’ve been practicing making new experiences for myself so I can appreciate time more.
Listening to this while driving, the past really is behind me.
The perpetual spinning globe at the start, desturbed me more then it should have xD

This is how I experienced time when I had a depression. In fact, at the very start I thought I had it again because some things where so similar like the experience of time, the isolation and the feeling of grief. I'm sorry you all have to experience a little bit of what it feels like to be depressed but I'm happy it's new to most of you.
When we have a listening test in class and we can listen to it twice, the second time listening always seems shorter! This video explains it, because the experience isn’t ‘new’ anymore.
As you said the perception of time differs by emotion but if a person is not only used to but actually not affected by it through adapting you are able to act and feel happy.
Time feels so slow during this pandemic as well, videos like this is what keep us going :)
If times moving to slow for you then time for a new hobby. Summer flew by way to quick for me.
@@Dirge4july lucky you! I did pick up a couple of hobbies, still! it's slower than usual during these depressing times.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure the last second before you can skip youtube publicity is way longer.

For a minute I thought this was going to go the way of the 7 day week video, but it ended up staying ‘on the rails’ so to speak. The 7 day week video remains my all-time favorite.
There is also a great motivation in this: if seeing/learning new things prolongs our perceived time passage, learning can at least extend your perceived time on earth
This rotating globe is very annoying and anxiety-envoking.

In Vietnam, there’s a term called “Nhìn lại quá khứ”, which’s directly translated into “Looking back at the past”, and “Hướng tới tương lai” - “Looking forward into the future”. And in my experience, I always think the past is behind me and the future is ahead of me.
So I quite disagree to what he said at 7:36. Good video, just a minor nitpick.
(Sorry for my bad English)
I think what he meant was the past is "trước đó" and future is "sau đó", it's depend on the context. Also Joe & team are foreigners and phong ba bão táp không bằng ngữ pháp Việt Nam mà 😁😁

@@billionairestash7972 Hey, chin up! Everything is gonna work out just fine.
and it blew up again in 2022
When I was coming onto an MDMA experience there was a minute or 2 when everything was sped up, as in the video part when it's sped up (even the pitch of sounds was higher). My perception was the same, it was simply that everything around me was sped up. It wasn't a memory glitch, it happened in actual time. It freaked me tf out.
Exception: musicians. We keep time with a 60bpm tempo.
Yep
I use a 120bpm tempo but i halftime the snare
@CHARITY DAZLEY musicians train themselves to get a sense of time passing. So does many other occupations/sports. That's the point here.
Can confirm. I know exactly how many minutes days months I’ve been out of work.
But they are superhumans
Lmao the title is a "The Good Place" reference. 10/10
???
I watched the good place who knows how many times before the pandemic but I have no idea what the reference was. Probably because it feels like over approximately 4.7 years
Did he change it?
Did the title change?
wot?
Man that news reporter reminded me that it really WAS Monday and I have a train to catch. Saved my life!!
Covid hasn't really affected my sense of time, mainly because I'm disabled and don't work. My sense of time has been screwed for years!
Same here! Times felt like this for ages, sometimes I worry because my life has been like this for years and hasn't changed during the pandemic and everyone is saying how much of an impact its had on their mental health.
I am in a similar situation. Covid hasn’t really changed my life much.
I’m disabled, too, and I don’t work outside my house nor do I go places very often, yet I feel like time passes extremely fast and I never get everything done at home no matter what.😂I wonder why…

Gosh, thought I was the only one confused with time perception during pandemic - seems like it was yesterday, yet like years ago - thanks a lot for video!
I remember trying to explain to my grandparents that they would literally live longer if they sought out new experiences, and picked up hobbies. They never understood.
Probably because they wouldn't literally live longer, they would just experience it more slowly.

"Between a past we can remember and a future which we cannot"
how crazy would it be to remember your future
Ooh! I think that happened in Doctor Who though. Something about memories trickling down along your timeline or something, and that's what déjà vu is. I think it's when I dreamt about something similar.
In the King Arthur legends Merlin lived backwards in time. The future was the past for him and the past was the future for him. In other words he remembered the future but the past was all new to him.
The movie Arrival explains this quite well, check it out!
That would be called déjà vu...but is it real or just an illusion?? 👀
Arrival much?
6:35 I pointed backwards but only because that is where a door is and I was on the other side of the door a few minutes ago so that is where I was in the past.
I opened my eyes at the exact moment he told us to open our eyes. I'm not a musician or anything. I just practiced way too many times in front of the microwave

Also that Neil DeGrasse-Tyson quip was golden 😂😂
00:06 - If it is 23 hours and 56 minutes, why is the clock of exact 24 hours? We gain 4 minutes every day that means?
Edit - Found this explanation. Stil confused.
(If our definition of a day was truly based on one complete rotation of the Earth on its axis - a 360 degree spin - then a day would be 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds. This is nearly 4 minutes shorter than our 24-hour standard day. However, our concept of a “day” has long been based on the natural cycle of sunlight - a period of daylight followed by a period without daylight. The mismatch of nearly 4 minutes is because the Earth must rotate more than 360 degrees between one dawn and the next. As you know, the Earth experiences two simultaneous motions - it not only spins on its axis, but it also travels in orbit around the sun. In a period of one day, the Earth travels about 1/365 of the way around the sun (because it takes about 365 days to go all the way around, which is how we define a year). This daily progress in the Earth’s orbit is almost exactly a degree (defined as 1/360 of a circle). Therefore the Earth has to spin an extra degree in order to line up with the sun again each day. The result is that one complete cycle of sunlight and darkness - one day - represents a rotation of about 361 degrees, not 360 degrees. Although a year consists of 365 and a quarter days, the Earth actually spins 366 and a quarter times during a year. From the standpoint of sunrises and sunsets, one complete spin is negated each year by the journey around the sun.)
24 hours is how long it takes for the sun to return to the same spot in the sky. Earth’s rotation takes sightly less time (because we are also orbiting the sun)

Time is definitely a concept. This reminds me of how different films seem short or long relative to their run time.
I notice that when a film seemed longer but it only runs like 90-100 mins, and I reflect on the story and events in the film, there tends to be more events in that film. And on the other end of that, I've also noticed that some longer films that might run for 120+ mins seemed to go by quickly. In those films, there tends to be fewer but more major events that took longer portions of the film to get through.
Also, I've always disagreed with the maxim of "time flies when you're having fun" and the notion that it drags out when your not. In my experience, I've had great times that seemed to pass quickly and also ones that seemed to last forever. And the same for not so great times. I think there are other factors that determines that effect. Might have to do with how your focusing in that moment.
*I was expecting a video about relativity, but instead got a topic I’m less familiar with. This made me learn more, great video.*
It’s cool how our brains have evolved to survive, but those processes that help us survive create interesting situations like the ones described here. Does anyone think that being a musician (which involves knowing time) counteracts the brain doing this?
SEE my comment, above. in music, time is interval/tempo/rhythm. its not TEMPORAL!!!

Me having more time to play the backlog of videogames I have been meaning to play.
I remember as a kid i used to play with same fast and slow effects used here while watching movies. I actually enjoyed it more than watching the movie itself. Don't know why i suddenly remembered it while watching this video.
I remember seeing a video about written language and our perception of the environment as it pertained to the movie Arrival. Interesting concept, especially since time is not linear, only our perception of it is.
Time flies when you're having fun. On the other hand when you're suffering in pain or just generally unhappy time drags on so slowly.
I remember you from “so you want to go to mars?” I miss 7th grade....
6:11 the face on animated Neils face 😂😂priceless
Huge missed opportunity to make Cartoon Neil deGrasse Tyson do the "Look out, we got a bad ass over here" gesture.
Perfect! 7:35: When I first started taking Chinese I kept confusing how to say “the next” 下个 and “the previous” 上个, which are indeed literally, the “above” one and the “below” one. That was back in 2005, so I’ve got it down pat now, but I had never made the correlation to writing top to bottom! Cool!
The exact reason why going back through the same path seems faster.
When he said point to the past I just felt confused; my thought was: "I can't point to the past, it no longer exists" And when Joe pointed backwards I realized that I, again am special.
This happened to me too!!
I felt the same, and now I thought about it more, I think that the past - or at least my past - is inside me. Now is around me, and from there all different futures are paths in different directions from where I am.
I did the same, mildly confused for a second, then couldn't really identify where the past "is" and ended pointing vaguely upward? I almost thought to point inward but then decided that doesn't make any sense. This whole comment is annoying my brain now.
I curled my index finger back into my palm in a gesture that could be seen as pointing in reverse. I can't establish a fix on the direction that is 90° from up-down, left-right and front-back.
Same
When you're young, say 5 years old, and you become a year older you add 1/5th. When you're 50 years old you add 1/50th. Hence the years seem to go faster when you're getting older.
I did the pointing of time with you, and I pointed to left. My husband pointed behind him, as you anticipated. He explained that he pointed behind himself because he perceived himself as the focal point of the time experience. I pointed to the left as in a linear “timeline”. My background is in physics so maybe this is why, but I thought of myself as an observer not as an experiencer. Maybe it’s not cultural differences alone that affect the perception of time, or at least the pictorial representation of time in our minds. What do you think? What do you make of this?

@DrJoeHanson, I just wanted to say that this video is AMAZING. I came here to learn how to make my days feel longer and more fulfilling. Thanks to this video, I learned why time seems to slow when we are children; because we are taking everything in for the very first time, which causes our brain to work harder and create memories. What I need to do to make my days feel longer and more fulfilling, is learn something new every day and make memories every day! Thank you so much! I also greatly appreciate that you explained how different cultures perceive the past, present and future (or future, present and past). My knowledge and so many other people's knowledge of the world is so skewed because our influences are limited, therefore our knowledge of everyone else in the world is narrowed. It is refreshing to be reminded that there is SO much on our planet and so much to learn and fill each day of our lives with. I now need to remind myself more often by staying in touch with the rest of the world (as much as I am able to! Educational videos, videos from other people in the world, pen pals and one day, to travel)! Thank you for the awesome video!!!

@@cmarley314 yeh thats also a common one!
its surprisingly accurate isnt it? I often have a stopwatch going alongside me when making my coffee, and when I glance at it after about 20-25 seconds, I find that the counting my head is almost 100% accurate. Might be off by a few tenths of a second, but over 25 secs, i reckon thats pretty good!
I start at zero, but don't say/think it: "one-thousand one, one-thousamd two, one-thousand three, ..."
I'm accurate to within one second per minute, but after 5-6 minutes I get bored or distracted and lose track completely.
