Time
In this four-programme series, string theory pioneer Michio Kaku goes on an extraordinary exploration of the world in search of time.
He discovers our sense of time passing and the clocks that drive our bodies. He reveals the forces of time that make and destroy us in a lifetime.
He journeys to some of the Earth’s most spectacular geological sites to look for clues to the extraordinary depths of time at a planetary level.
Finally, he takes us on a cosmic journey in search of the beginning (and the end) of time itself. (Excerpt from bbc.co.uk)
Episode 1 – Daytime
Time seems to drive every moment. It’s the most inescapable force we feel. But do we experience time from within our minds and bodies or from the outside?
Episode 2 – Lifetime
The most powerful effect of time on our lives is the way it limits us. Our knowledge of death is so embedded in our lives and spirituality that, were immortality possible, would we lose the sense that makes us human?
Episode 3 – Earthtime
We hold a unique knowledge of time, realising that it stretches deep into the past, and will continue into the future. How does this affect our sense of who we are?
Episode 4 – Cosmictime
We’ve always structured our lives based on an unchanging past and a predictable and ordered future. But atomic and cosmic discoveries have changed all that. What is time itself? And will it ever end?
RE: Wrong Video
I think you posted the wrong video (#1 of 4) on the following page: http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/time/
The first video is incorrect and should be about TIME not about some drug and government topic.
Just thought you’d want to place the proper video there.
Thanks!
Corrected. Thanks Randy Phillips.
the mind changes time ? How about the synapse in the brain increase with the flow of adrenalin. This is a pointless experiment and does not prove what the makers of the video claim it does.
The flow of Adrenalin is not directly correlated to brain synapse, thus suspended time could be perceived as the reality you want to see. So in effect the mind could change time.
it has worth to watch..
time is only one valuable knowledge….
The flow of adrenalin is about the perception of time. That is why when one is in an accident, it is said that it happened in slow motion. Chemicals such as the THC in marijuana also effect the perception of time –slowing it for the perceiver.
I think this is a b****** documentary and with wrong title well i think the title should be ‘age’ rather than ‘time’.'brain can slow down the time’ that is the most ridicules claim i have ever heard. well brain may flow adrenalin to increase the frame at we normally see (24fps). but again title is misleading.
I definitely believe that the brain effects time. I fell asleep once to the scrolling cast appearances at the end of a film, I had a dream where a myriad of events occurred. I felt I was dreaming that dream for hours. So many things happened in it. When I woke up the credits had barely moved. I was sleeping for no more than 40 seconds. I wondered, how can I perceive or “imagine” nearly an entire days worth of very specifically detailed events, in under a minute?
i think the time is just energy when we control the energy we have the time or the energy matter given the energy time.mean some energy matter(x) – some energy matter (y) if the speed of energy(x) > the speed of energ(y) element (xy) have the time
The fact that the guy was FALLING is the only thing that could have affected time. GRAVITY affects time, and nobody knows exactly what that is. The experiments and speculation are bullsh*t.
Have not finished watching so my comment may be updated later. I saw the first doc and if it sets the stage for the others then I believe the idea is to prove time is ticking away at it’s normal pace and there is not one thing we can do about that. However the perception of time is relative to the viewer ( Your Self ) and your state of mind at the moment. If you are skydiving and experience the slow motion effect that dose not mean everyone’s sense of time is affected or could be affected at that moment just because you are falling. I was a race car driver for several years and experienced the slow motion affect every race. I think that is part of the addiction to racing.
I won’t watch past part I. This is a simpleton’s analysis of time hosted by the flashiest physicist they could drum up.
I wouldn’t show this documentary to 14 year old science students…which seems to be who the target audience is.
