Kevin as an addendum to my previous post I found a solid source on the perception/present time frame. It is from a bestseller book called The Power of Time Perception by Jean Paul Zogby. I quote him as saying, “The longest period of time that we can all the ‘present now’ is around 3 seconds long.” With a difference of just .7 seconds between what was quoted in Ideas and Discoveries magazine and what Mr. Zogby states, I hardly doubt that the just noticeable difference comes into play. I’m going to look for that book and get lost in it. This sort of thing fascinates me.
