I remember reading about some experiments done on this where the result was that the subjects just remembered the experience in more detail, and didn't actually experience time slower. Something about looking at something that changed just slightly faster than the maximum speed someone can normally see changes in something, while freefalling.
- komali2 10y agoThat makes sense - high adrenaline causing extremely high resolution for memory write, but later the playback speed on a read is the same, so it seems slower when really it's just more detailed / takes up more tape.
- kgen 10y agoI remember hearing about that as well, likely from a Radiolab or This American Life podcast (can't find it right now), but http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=129112147 http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1291121... talks about it a bit more. LT;DR, people didn't actually experience time slowing, they just happened to remember more of what was happening.
