[edit] WikiProject Time assessment rating comment
Giving it a High Importance rating; though non-obvious, the human sense of time is intrinsic to our understanding of Time overall.

[edit] Beginning comments
Does anyone know anything about a Swiss man who supposedly trained himself as a human chronometer?24.215.77.125 01:53, 14 September 2006 (UTC)Pharox
I don't think Hawkings' suggestion should be included in the article as it has no experimental support.
[edit] Change in sense of time while undertaking certain tasks
anyone have any info on how a computer users sense of time is altered? like time seems to pass more slowly for them? Especially prevelant when playing video games.
[edit] Distortions in Perception of Time Through Causation
Does anyone have any information about how someone's perception of time can be altered when they are the one causing the event? Anything relevant to Dr. David Eagleman's or Benjamin Libet's work would be appreciated. Bella'sTwilight 05:34, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] The source of time as a chemical reaction
In Chemistry, chemical reactions are often calculated as going to completion and next going back to a midpoint. There is the objective possibility that those reactions are like the calculations. If biological chemical reactions are anything like that, there would be reactions in the body - including the brain - that swing back and forth. Such swinging would likely act as the pendulum of a biological chronometer. Verification is only a matter of finding which reactions are responsible. P.S. Hawking's idea is not true to any physical process.. it doesn't seem relevant. 74.195.25.78 (talk) 18:15, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
