Time STOPS in Emergencies: The Shocking Truth About "Tees

This video explores the fascinating phenomenon of "Time Expansion Experiences" (TEs), where our perception of time dramatically shifts, making seconds feel like minutes.
The video begins by discussing how we all experience minor time distortions in our daily lives, like when time flies while having fun or drags on when bored. It explains that these variations are linked to information processing: the more information our minds process, the slower time seems to pass.
However, TEs are different. They occur in extreme situations like car accidents, falls, or attacks, where people report having an incredible amount of time to think and react, as if their internal clock has slowed down. The video shares compelling examples, like a woman who had ample time to decide how to escape a falling metal barrier during a car accident.
Interestingly, TEs aren't limited to emergencies. They can also happen during sports, deep meditation, or even psychedelic experiences. The video explores various theories about why TEs occur, including the role of noradrenaline, evolutionary adaptation, and memory illusions. However, it ultimately suggests that the key lies in altered states of consciousness, where our normal mental processes are disrupted, and our sense of self and time expands.
The video concludes by emphasizing the flexible and mysterious nature of our perception of reality, highlighting that time is not just a fixed objective thing but something we experience and can be profoundly altered. It encourages viewers to share their own experiences with TEs, sparking a conversation about this intriguing phenomenon.
