The Nature of Time: A Conversation Between Peter Witz and Dr. Graves

Peter Witz: Dr. Graves, why does time seem to move so quickly in some moments and so slowly in others?

Dr. Graves: A fascinating question, Peter. Time itself does not change, but our perception of it does. When the mind is fully engaged, time vanishes. When it is idle or burdened by anticipation, time drags.

Peter Witz: So our experience of time is psychological?

Dr. Graves: Precisely. Have you noticed how childhood summers felt endless, yet adulthood years vanish in a blink?

Peter Witz: Yes, why is that?

Dr. Graves: Because novelty stretches time. The more new experiences we have, the longer time feels. Routine compresses it. If you wish to slow time, seek wonder.

Peter Witz: Then perhaps time is not something to manage, but something to immerse ourselves in.

Dr. Graves: Indeed, Peter. Live fully, and time will take care of itself
