What's the explanation for the stretch of personal time?

Hypoglycemia can do weird things to your perceptions.

Hi

Hmmmmmm.

Nominated as the freackiest reply ever.

Thank you. It's a gift.

However, that would also explain why, when you remember your days, the dull tedious ones seem so brief and the fun, exciting and challenging ones seem so long by comparison.

Buffer overflow and resulting loss of data vs. successful transmission and storage of data.

I used to get perception of scale problems when I was younger; normally when I was ill, but not always. For example I'd suddenly get the feeling that my arm, lain across the duvet, was enormous, my hand miles away - but yet I was tiny. Even thinking about it now brings a ghost of that odd feeling back.

I don't know if it's related to what you're talking about; it did always happen in bed, and was a problem with perception of something that's normally "fixed". I've often wondered what caused it.

I don't think proprioception is the same as the sense of time, but it sounds cool Rocko, haha.

Nitro-glycerine can blow your mind completely

Hehehehe, nonono. This sounds like a completely different animal..... from like a completely different Kingdom, my friend.

Man, I tried Googling for the Einstein quote but got so many disparate results I can't discern which is actually attributed to him. Who'da thunk the Internet could be so uninformed?

Anyway, it was something about a hot item (a stove?) and a pretty girl.

When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute and it's longer than any hour. That's relativity.
