Perception of time...

Did you know...

that we are closer in time to the T-rex (65 million years) than the T-rex is to the Stegosaurus (77 Million years)?

That wooly mammoths roamed the Earth at the same time the Egyptian pyramids were being built? Cleopatra was born 2,500 years later meaning she was alive closer to the moon landings.

Oxford University is older than the Aztecs.

The last widow of an American civil war veteran died in 2008, the same year Obama won his first presidential race. (American civil war was between 1861-1865)

Anyone have any other facts that blows your perception of time?

Yes... I am procrastinating at work.

The northern part of Brazil is closer to Canada than it is to the southern part of Brazil.

As told to me by a Brazilian student of mine but I still googled it.

The original release date of Wham's "Last Christmas" is closer to World War 2 than it is to today.

The actual size of other countries blows my mind.

Conversely, on a world map, Greenland looks like it is the size of Africa, in reality it is slightly smaller than the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Time is mearly a way of focusing the mind on what it needs to see. There is no reason time actually exists except for a way of the present to be focused on. It all could be an indefinite loop, constantly co existing or an illusion. Nor do we know exactly how time is perceived, per person, your life may feel longer than some else's life, how would you know. Take some acid and see the truth, it's all just a prism in the mind Letting you make sense of your own reality.

I remember reading pigeons process the visual world faster than us, (so if they were to watch a movie it would just be a series of still images) meaning they experience time more slowly than we do.

Did you know that when George Washington was alive, he never knew dinosaurs had ever existed as the first fossil hadn’t yet been discovered.

Slightly off topic but time related. 1963-1993 same time period as 1993-2023. 30 years. Huge change in culture and general way of life from the 60s to 90s. 90's to now...not so much. As time passes, is progress slowing?

Really? I am fairly sure the internet happened for most people from the 90s to now and I would argue that was /is a _much_ bigger social and cultural change than anything from the 60s to 90s.

If the last widow died in 2008 she would have been 143 assuming she was born in 1865 and married an older guy after wars end.

Actually, my fact is out of date.

Last surviving civil war widow died in 2020.

She was 17 when she married a 93 year old civil war veteran in 1936.
