“[Why Time Flies] captures us. Because it opens up a well of fascinating queries and gives us a glimpse of what has become an ever more deepening mystery for humans: the nature of time.” —The New York Times Book Review
“Erudite and informative, a joy with many small treasures.” —Science
“Time” is the most commonly used noun in the English language; it’s always on our minds and it advances through every living moment. But what is time, exactly? Do children experience it the same way adults do? Why does it seem to slow down when we’re bored and speed by as we get older? How and why does time fly?
In this witty and meditative exploration, award-winning author and New Yorker staff writer Alan Burdick takes readers on a personal quest to understand how time gets in us and why we perceive it the way we do. In the company of scientists, he visits the most accurate clock in the world (which exists only on paper); discovers that “now” actually happened a split-second ago; finds a twenty-fifth hour in the day; lives in the Arctic to lose all sense of time; and, for one fleeting moment in a neuroscientist’s lab, even makes time go backward. Why Time Flies is an instant classic, a vivid and intimate examination of the clocks that tick inside us all.

評分聽書 —————— 不是關於時間的散文,是對時間的科普 大腦感知原則(同時性、因果性→0.08s差) 陽光對生物鍾的影響 杏仁體放大事件的時間豐滿度,並沒有拉長時間
評分看到1/3就看不下去瞭。條理性以及跟主題感覺夠不上。好吧,不能完全看書名就能夠解惑心中的疑問。也有收獲,至少明白時間可以跟人的心理學掛上聯係。
評分lost me in the latter half part of the book. The Second and the Hour are great.
