From Denny: This awesome program really gets your creative thoughts spinning! :) Prof. Cox starts with talking about the Mayans and their knowledge and concepts of Time in video 1 and moves along to discussing Einsteins' classic theory about space-time continuum right up to Cox's field of quantum mechanics' view of Time. These videos are quite a thrill ride! :)
This video discusses Time beyond the Big Bang theory as all past, present and future exists somewhere in the space-time continuum and then gets into what the quantum mechanics folks think is true about Time.

These videos are quite a thrill ride! :) This one demos a new camera that can slow down Time into chunks we can easily see like any where from 80 times slower to 40,000 times slower. Reminds you of a circus fun house of mirrors.

How do you react to an emotional face? Depends on how quickly you see it

"What's your first reaction on seeing this picture of Nora? Are you excited because she appears to be excited? Or do you react to her intent? Perhaps you think she's cute, or maybe even sarcastic. Ultimately you might have all of those reactions.
There's no doubt we're exceptionally fast at responding to faces, and to the emotions they convey. But reacting appropriately, especially when a face signals danger, could be the difference between life and death.
These two ways of reacting to a facial expression correspond to two possible intentions of an expression: to elicit an emotion in someone else, or to express your own emotional state."
By Dave Munger
From Denny: Boy! Talk about making snap judgments about a person or a situation! According to these guys, it's all wrapped up in how quickly the brain noticed something affects interpretation of your own mood as well. Definitely food for thought.
