66 - Danger, SLOW BRAIN Ahead! TIME DILATION From Head To Toe

from What The If? Hosted by Philip Shane

When scientists discovered that our brain communicates with our body through electrical signals, they had a scientific and philosophical freak-out: if it took a not insignificant amount of TIME for our brain to process the world around us... then that information -- OUR SENSES -- were always TOO SLOW! What did this mean for our SENSE OF REALITY? And when we began exploring the solar system, our communication with our far flung human and robot astronauts was even more DELAYED. What The IF is going on??? An encore presentation of... the totally bizarre time when our BRAIN SIGNALS slowed down so much that they couldn't keep up with our dancin' feet!
