  • In YOUR BRAIN IS A TIME MACHINE, UCLA neuroscientist Dean Buonomano investigates the relationship between the brain and time: What is time? Why does time seem to speed up or slow down? Is our sense that time flows an illusion? In lucid prose Buonomano presents his own influential theory of how the brain tells time, and he illuminates such concepts as free will, consciousness, spacetime, and relativity from the perspective of a neuroscientist. Drawing on physics, evolutionary biology, and philosophy, he reveals that the brain’s ultimate purpose may be to predict the future-and thus that your brain is a time machine.

    @ 2:45 before I watch, I'm going to make my guess. To me, time is an instance, a coded experience in your brain, coded just like your sense of space, your sense of reason, your sense of sight, and your sense of sound. Another dimension of perception. We use the idea of time as a way to regulate our actions in relation to each other - and because action is linked to emotions, our perception of time changes with our emotional state as well. Now, I'll watch.

    I still can't get my head around the concept that all of time exist at the same time when the only time I am conscious of is here and now.

      There is only the present time. That's the whole point of this topic. The brain dictates the fact of past and future. The present time is the only true moment of "time"....whatever the fuck "time" actually is, to our understanding anyway

    Sir Dean Buonomono, I watched your vedio many times. If you post more vedio with more information about mental time travel, especially connecton and xenon related, it will be very enjoyable. Thanks a lot.

    First of all Google knows that it wasn't Einstein's theory of relativitybecause they've been instrumental in covering that up. He just introduced location without properties because they can't get the physics to work and that's how they fixed it. You're trying to solve one problem with another problem you haven't understood.. in fact I've worked out more about time then you even possibly came close to. But is that purposeful?: Knowing how Google operates I'm starting to think so.

    "I'm going to teach you to read the clock, son. No, it's not a book. To tell the time. Why, so you know when to get up to go to school. Yes, I know mummy does that for you. If someone asked you what the time was, and you didn't know, you'd feel foolish."
    "Why doesn't he feel foolish."
    "Listen. See this on my wrist? It's a clock. It's not really a clock; it's a watch. That's it. I watch it. It's a wristwatch. Now this time is made up of zones; yes, like American football. Zones. No, it doesn't have a quarterback, it has quarter hours.
    Now listen. The zones are periods of time, like your schoolclasses. Not geography and history but hours, minutes and seconds. Hours, not ours. Hours.
    Now In every day there are 24 hours; 12 in the day and 12 in the night. A day is made up of a day and a night. Clear? There are 3 pointers called hands. They point to the hour. Yes, I know we have 2 hands. The first hand is the hour hand; the second hand is the minute hand; and the third hand is the second hand. The third hand is the second hand. Are you stupid?
    Ok, forget about the third hand. Now we have 2 hands, the hour hand and the minute hand, fat and thin, on the face of the clock or watch. No, it isn't a human face. Yes, I know it has Mickey Mouse on it.
    At the top of the clock is 1 and 2, twelve. It's not 3. I know my wrist is sideways. It's a 12 and the 12 is the top. Not a tabletop or spinning top. It's like a top, yes, the hands spin or move like a top. When the thin hand and fat hand point to the 1 and 2 it's 12 O'Clock. How do I know it's daytime? If it was night you wouldn't be able to see it, dummkopf. The thin hand moves away from the fat hand to the 1. Now that 1 is 5. 2 is 10, 3 is 15, 4 is 20, 5 is 25 and 6 is the half. Get it? 12 is the whole, so 6 is the half. 7 is 25 to or 35 past. The fat hand moves slowly. Yes, because it's heavier- wake up. So by the time the fat hand moves round to the one, which is the 5 for the minute hand, and the thin hand has zoomed around to the 1 and 2 again, what time is it?
    "5 O'Clock."
    "That's the time now, dumbo. Am I wasting my time?" [ with thanks to dave allen ]

    Isn't time actually motion, that is, all things are in motion, except at the center of a black hole where time stops? Entropy is the measure of energy going from greater to lesser states, that is done by motion. Now the fastest thing in this Universe is the Photon, which is timeless at the other end of the spectrum from the black hole, where time and motion both stop, the photon is where time starts, in its trail. Time is motion. The problem i see is the confusion between time and the measure of time. Time is not the measure of time, that is perception, time is what is perceived and that is motion. The motion of what? Of everything, the photon creating the edge of the Universe and the turning of the Earth, the movement from Human youth to age to decomposition to the return to the stars and onward, always in motion. when will time end, when motion ends, when all the energy of motion has dissipated and the Universe stops moving, either in a black hole or the nothingness

    he doesn't understand animal psychology. even crows think ahead and plan and make tools. Koko understood she could and wanted to get pregnant

    • @Timrath
      @Timrath 3 года назад +1

      "he doesn't understand animal psychology."
      The ability to use tools is not contingent on the ability of thinking ahead. When a crow uses a stick, that doesn't mean that there occurred a conscious thought process. It is quite probable that the behaviour was instinctive (by birth) or learned (by imitation).
      When trying to explain animal behaviour, we must be careful not to anthropomorphise and project our own imagination onto what we observe. Innate, instinctive behaviour can often look deceptively conscious, even in humans.
      So, does he understand animal psychology? Probably not, but I suspect that you understand it even less well.

      @@TJ-kk5zf I don't think anyone does. We don't even understand humans, and they can use speech to tell us what they are thinking.
      I mean, how would you even begin to tell the difference between an instinctive and a conscious behaviour in a crow? In what ways would a conscious activity differ from an innate activity in an animal that cannot speak or write? How can you be sure you're not projecting your own imagination onto what the crow is doing?
      Out of curiosity, are you, in fact, a zoologist, biologist, or any kind of scientist?
