You’re always living in the past,” Eagleman said. “The deeper issue is, most of what you see, your conscious perception, is computed on a need-to-know basis. You don’ts see everything, you what’s most beneficial for you. It’s like if you’re driving on the road, your brain isn’t continuously asking, ‘Where is the red car now? Where is the blue car now? Instead it asks, “can I change lanes? Will I make it through the intersection before that other car crosses?” it’s rare that you care about the instantaneous position of the moving object -- and until you ask, you don’t actually know. And when you ask, you’ll always get it wrong.” ~ Page 128 Excerpt "WHY TIME FLIES" Alan Burdick

Sun dial

….A sun dial tracks a moving shadow around its face, the hours are marked with printed numerals. Does the clock count the numbers or do you? Does time exist independently of the mind that counts it? “Whether, if soul did not exist, time would exist or not, is a question that may fairly be asked,” Aristotle mused, “for if there cannot be something to count, there cannot be anything that can be counted.” It’s like the koan about the falling tree in the forest: is coal a clock if there is no scientist to measure its C-14/C-12 ratio? Augustine was resolute: time resides in measuring of it, which makes it solely a property of the human mind. On hears an echo of Augustine in the late physicist Richard Feynman, who pointed out that the dictionary definition of time is circular: time is a period, which is defined as a length of time. Feynman added, “What really matters anyway is not how we define time, but how we measure it. ~ Page 29
