How To Expand Time

What if you could slow down time — without getting into a car accident? In this episode of Fascinating Nouns, host Daniel J. Glenn sits down with psychologist and author Dr. Steven Taylor to explore one of the most fascinating phenomena in human experience: time expansion.
We dig into the science behind why time seems to slow to a crawl during car crashes, emergencies, and near-death situations — and why that’s not just a trick of memory. Dr. Taylor shares his own dramatic highway accident, the story of a pregnant woman dodging bullets in slow motion, and a cyclist who calculated how to survive being run over by a truck — all in a matter of seconds.
We also break down Taylor’s four laws of psychological time: why time speeds up as we get older, why new experiences stretch time, why absorption makes hours vanish, and why altered states of consciousness can make seconds feel like hours. Plus — how elite athletes like Ted Williams, Lionel Messi, LeBron James, and Michael Jordan may literally experience time more slowly than the rest of us, and how meditation and martial arts can help ordinary people access the same ability.
This episode will change the way you think about every second of your day.

*BONUS* NDE’s and Mystical Time Cessation

In this bonus episode, Steven and I explore the more strange and mystical elements of time expansion, including spiritual awakenings and near death experiences.  With both of these, time can seem to stop or cease completely.  We also talk about life reviews, their relation to precognitive events, and how that relates to the block universe!  Yeah, we pack quite a bit into these 10 minutes.
