> In those sorts of situations time truly does slow down. I replay those times endlessly in my dreams/nightmares but either way it seemed like both at the time and in my mental replaying of the events that time slowed down to a crawl. Interestingly, in at least one measurable, quantitative sense, time does not slow down, not even subjectively: > Using a hand-held device to measure speed of visual perception, participants experienced free fall for 31 m before landing safely in a net. We found no evidence of increased temporal resolution, in apparent conflict with the fact that participants retrospectively estimated their own fall to last 36% longer than others' falls. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0001295 https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal...
