Society & Culture:Philosophy
Most of us experience time as something that passes, or flows like a river - or at least we think we do. Could it be that the sense of time passing is just an illusion? This week we're getting to grips with a theory of time that denies the reality of "flow" - and we're asking why time seems to speed up or slow down in certain situations.
Guest: Heather Dyke, Associate Professor of Philosophy, University of Otago NZ
Producer: David Rutledge
