I find it hard to believe it's been sixteen years since Tom & I were in Barcelona; it seems like it was centuries ago but at the same time only a few moments ago. Funny how that works.
Time is the continuous progression of existence that occurs in an apparently irreversible succession from the past, through the present, and into the future. The perception of it, the subjective experience, or sense, of time, which is measured by someone's own perception of the duration of the indefinite and unfolding of events. This perceived time interval between two successive events is referred to as perceived duration.
The ancient Greeks recognized the difference between chronological time (chronos) and subjective time (kairos).
Pioneering work on time perception, emphasizing species-specific differences, was conducted by Karl Ernst von Baer who was a naturalist, biologist, geologist, meteorologist, geographer, and is considered the founding father of embryology. He was a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, a co-founder of the Russian Geographical Society, and the first president of the Russian Entomological Society, making him one of the most distinguished Baltic German scientists.
