We are far too complex to have our time senses solely guided by a single series of common actions. The causes are not so simple. Whatever steers the time’s sense of accelerated passing must come from multifarious hierarchies of intricately related inner signals that interact with the body’s understanding of how the life we lead convolutes with time. One cause in the hierarchy is a person’s activity. The active life gives the impression that time is moving slowly, contradictory with the notion that boredom makes the clock run excruciatingly slow. That activity is intimately connected with body time, the pulse, the heartbeat, the body temperature, the muscle memory as well as brain activity. Time sense is one giant ball of interconnected feedback from the way we live.
