Have you ever felt that boring classes and meetings are so long, but fun times fly by so quickly? This is because we live in "mental time," which expands and contracts, unlike "clock time," which always moves at the same pace. We will also unravel the phenomenon of "time passing like slow motion in times of danger" and "time passing faster as we get older," and approach the mystery of time. We will also consider why time has become so important to humans.
