Episode notes
Nap That Feels Like A Time Warp
- Becca describes napping that disorients her when she wakes at sunset but thinks it's dawn.
- She avoids naps because they make her feel temporally disoriented.
Aging Feels External Not Internal
- Becca notices parents age gradually but feels she and they age together, so changes are less obvious internally.
- She needs external reference points to notice her own aging.
Black Holes Stretch Time
- Black holes distort time so an outside observer sees someone falling in as slowed while the falling person feels normal.
- This makes black holes a useful magnifying lens for studying time and extreme physics.
