The Disturbing Reason Time Only Flows in Your Mind

Our Spotify podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/5rqQFYdoSPWZ0QLQp27Rmj?si=nLAoFdo5SoSqJ7QoN3eUQQ You are certain that time is passing. You can feel it right now, the present sliding forward, the past slipping quietly behind you, the future rushing up to meet you. And yet nowhere in the laws of physics is there any such thing as the flow of time, no moving now, no mechanism that turns one moment into the next. The universe our most tested theories describe is a single, still block in which nothing actually flows. So if the cosmos does not move, where does the overwhelming feeling of passage really come from? This is a slow, patient walk through the strange place where physics and the brain meet. We follow the flow of time out of the universe, where the equations cannot find it, and into the human nervous system, where it is quietly built, edited, and time stamped a fraction of a second late. Along the way we sit with the relativity of simultaneity, the block universe, the specious present, the experiments of Benjamin Libet, the stopped clock illusion, and the strange slow motion of fear, until the most undeniable feeling you have begins to look less like something you receive and more like something you make. Get cozy and let this long, quiet journey through the physics and neuroscience of time keep you company tonight.
