Consider how being in the zone impacts our senses of duration and tempo. What happens to the length of a moment, and the speed of time in your mind and body when you are at a state of peak performance? Being in the zone allows time to fly by just like the expression "time flys when your having fun". However, everything seems slower to one's mind being in the slow. Everything seems in slow motion but in reality, it is just a state of mind.
Besides the inducement of state of flow by athletes, musicians, artists, and religious practices, what other means or reasons are mentioned in "The Short History of Time" that could change our perceptions and experiences of time? Name two very different ways for changing our relationship to time. A disease can slip someone into turtle time or fast time. One girl Esther experienced this as her reaction time was 1/10th of a second while 1/7th was experienced through amazing athletes' eyes. Adrenaline also changes the perception of time.
What was the single greatest factor in moving human beings into Greenwich Mean Time? Moving into Greenwich Mean Time is the basis of the world time ensuring everyone to be on the same level no matter where in the world they are. Although one person may be experiencing a different time of day but this depends on their location in connection with the sun. However, GMT unties everyones perception of time.
What are the implications of living according to GMT? What are the pros and cons? Living in GMT all time is synchronized where everyone lives on the same time of day rather than having a different time for every clock like he 1850s before the birth of "railroad time".
Would you rather live in a world with GMT or a world with other kinds of time? Explain why. No, living in a time without GMT time would not be convenient as everyone would not be in synch. Although, living in a different time would be crucial for those who never can get to class on time, the synchronized timing is what keeps the world in order and organized.
Russolo and his colleagues embraced mechanical rhythms and noises. They celebrated not attunement with another human in the present moment, but the future. They were the products of the first mechanized World War, and were terribly disillusioned with Romantic ideals. How has this attitude played itself out our century? Can you think of art forms or media that celebrate the same things Russolo valued? Referring to the future brings a special attention to a work of art as the public has yet to experienced anything similar to one's piece. The Art Nouveau movement was similar to this as they disregarded the past influences and began a new era with strictly new forms, styles, and decoration.
