Your Brain Is a Time Machine (Dean Buonomano)

Dean Buonomano investigates the relationship between the brain and time, looking at what time is, why it seems to speed up or slow down and whether our sense that time flows is an illusion. Buonomano presents his theory of how the brain tells time and illuminates such concepts as consciousness, space-time and relativity from the perspective of a neuroscientist. Drawing on physics, evolutionary biology and philosophy, he reveals that the brains ultimate purpose may be to predict the futureand thus that your brain is a time machine.
