Can Time Slow Down?

Posted in Blurb by David Dugay on the 03.20.2008.22.59.36

Michio Kaku is a kind of strange Japanese guy with killer English skills. He’s a theoretical physicist. When he appears on the Discovery Channel, he is usually described as a futurist…and he has some pretty weird ideas about the future.

This is a clip from a BBC documentary. Michio Kaku doesn’t appear in this clip, but it’s his voice that is narrating it.

The first part of the clip shows an experiment trying to demonstrate time slowing down (or at least the perception of time slowing down). The second part is another experiment about rats, drugs, and time perception. The rat experiment made me laugh AND be in awe at the same time. I can just imagine a rat on cocaine tweaking out and the rat on marijuana getting stoned. LOL
