I don't know why more people aren't interested in time. Ask any old people and they all say that time goes by more quickly as you get older. This is probably their perception of time but who knows? If that perception was controlled by part of the brain, perhaps there could be a drug to slow down and speed up our perception of time? Then we could make doing things we don't enjoy pass by more quickly while having more time doing things we do enjoy.
If we don't really understand time, I'm not sure how we can contemplate the afterlife. I only believe in it because it's logical to. I could only be wrong if I didn't believe and then it existed. If there's no afterlife, you can't be wrong if you believe in it because there will be no such thing as wrong.
Time i s a very interesting concept but I don't see how it can be controlled by the brain. Because unless we created an incredibly dense object that could warp space time then it's only our perception of how quickly time passes that we could change.
We can't contemplate an afterlife unless we believe we are constant beings, and I guess it's a safe bet hahaha

I think there's a clear link between time and memory. We don't remember when we were very young and that time might as well not exist for us. When we are learning the most and our brains are remembering the most, time is perceived to pass more slowly. As we get older and our brains deteriorate and we do more things automatically, having already learned to do them, time is perceived to pass more quickly. This is interesting
Really interesting video, strange concept that the universe has a memory.
The universe is a strange place that we still seem to know almost nothing about. This is a good explanation of one of the strange phenomena, quantum entanglement
