Sinossi

Strange Time Perceptions explores the subjective experience of time, revealing how our brains construct this fundamental aspect of reality. The book highlights that our perception isn't fixed but is shaped by emotions, attention, and cognitive processes, such as how moments of crisis can seem to stretch on, demonstrating temporal distortion. It delves into the neuroscience behind our internal chronometer, examining brain regions like the basal ganglia and prefrontal cortex that contribute to our sense of timing.

 
The book progresses by first establishing the psychological and neurological basis of time perception. It then investigates specific phenomena like time dilation and the influence of memory, offering insights into how daily routines affect our subjective experience. Finally, the book explores practical applications, such as stress management and improved cognitive performance.

 
By synthesizing findings from psychology, neuroscience, and biology, Strange Time Perceptions provides a comprehensive understanding of this complex phenomenon, making it valuable to anyone interested in the workings of the human mind.

Echoes of the Cosmos - Tracing...

Dirk Fallon

The universe is vast, filled with mysteries that challenge our understanding of reality. Among these, dark matter stands out as one of the most elusive and significant components of the cosmos. It is an invisible force that cannot be seen directly, yet it exerts a profound influence on the structure and behavior of galaxies, stars, and the universe as a whole. This chapter delves into the concept of dark matter, exploring its nature, how it was first theorized, and why it remains one of the most intriguing puzzles in modern physics and astronomy.
Dark matter was first proposed as a solution to an anomaly in the way galaxies rotate. In the 1930s, astronomer Fritz Zwicky observed that galaxies in the Coma Cluster were moving much faster than expected, based on the visible matter in those galaxies. He suggested the existence of an unseen mass, which he called "dark matter," to account for the gravitational pull that would explain these high speeds. This groundbreaking idea, however, was met with skepticism at the time. Over the decades that followed, evidence continued to accumulate, pointing to the presence of dark matter in the universe.
Dark matter is not something we can detect with traditional instruments because it does not emit, absorb, or reflect light. It is essentially invisible to electromagnetic radiation, which makes it very different from the ordinary matter that makes up stars, planets, and everything we can see in the universe. Despite its invisibility, dark matter’s presence is inferred through its gravitational effects on visible matter. For example, when we observe the rotation of galaxies, the stars at the outer edges are moving faster than they should, based on the amount of visible matter in the galaxy. This suggests that there is additional mass, unseen but detectable through its gravitational pull, holding these galaxies together.

The Nature Book

Tom Comitta

Part sweeping evocation of Earth's rhythms, part literary archive, part post-human novel, The Nature Book collages descriptions of the natural world into a singular symphonic paean to the planet. 
 
 
 
What does our nature writing say about us, and more urgently, what would it say without us? Tom Comitta investigates these questions and more in The Nature Book, a "literary supercut" that arranges writing about the natural world from three hundred works of fiction into a provocative re-envisioning of the novel. With fiction's traditional background of flora and fauna brought to the fore, people and their structures disappear, giving center stage to animals, landforms, and weather patterns—honored in their own right rather than for their ambient role in human drama. The Nature Book challenges the confines of anthropocentrism with sublime artistic vision, traversing mountains, forests, oceans, and space to shift our attention toward the magnificently complex and interconnected world around us.
