RE: Defining time with atomic fountains

I "heard" my name and here I am with a cup of tea :P

Hey @irelandscape, nice to meet you! Your comment is very interesting indeed. I read about such experiments before. However, all I know about the influence different colours have on the distorted perception of time is that it results from the kind of emotions (extent of arousal) the given colour prompts. It all begins with the activation of photo-receptors (cones and rods), but this is just as far as I remember! From here, I would have to brush things up to provide more info :P

You guys have a nice day! :*

Hi, yes your explanation rings a bell.
I think I saw this in a BBC program. Might have been horizon but I'm not sure.

I always thought our perception of time should be on the same footing as our 5 other senses.

I'm not sure how understood our internal clock is.

When I wake up in the middle of the night I like guessing what the the time is.

Surprisingly my guess is usually not too far off, often within 20 minutes accuracy.

Weird.
