In this episode, we explore the concept of "phenomenal time", which is the feeling of time passing. We discuss how this is different from physical time, and how Albert Einstein's discovery of the connection between space, time, mass, and gravity has led to a greater understanding of the ways in which time can manifest. We also explore the idea of "exotic phenomenal time" experiences, which include oddities such as time-loops, moments of eternity, time branching, and time reversal. Finally, we explain these exotic experiences with a model we call the "pseudo-time arrow", which involves implicit causality in the network of sensations we experience on each "moment of experience".
