Why Time Seems to Accelerate as We Get Older and What We Can Do to Slow It Down
Adrian Bejan's theory of time perception changing as we age due to neural processing speeds is featured amongst several others.
Scientists Reveal Why Time Seems to Speed Up as We Age
An article exploring why most adults have said “time flies” at one time or another as they age explores MEMS Professor Adrian Bejan’s theory that the phenomenon has something to do with how quickly sensory signals are processed by our brains.
How to Slow Down Time (No, Really)
MEMS Professor Adrian Bejan says that as we age, the rate at which we process visual information slows down, contributing to our experience of time speeding up.

Do We Have a Sense of Time?
CrowdScience listener Marie, in Sweden, has always had trouble with time. She wants to know if time is a sense, like our other senses. Duke professor Adrian Bejan answers.
Can Intelligence Be Separated From the Body?
MEMS Professor Boyuan Chen has some thoughts on whether AI can ever truly be intelligent without a body to interact with the world. “I believe that intelligence can’t be born without having the perspective of physical embodiments.”
