Talks at Google
In YOUR BRAIN IS A TIME MACHINE, UCLA neuroscientist Dean Buonomano investigates the relationship between the brain and time: What is time? Why does time seem to speed up or slow down? Is our sense that time flows an illusion? In lucid prose Buonomano presents his own influential theory of how the brain tells time, and he illuminates such concepts as free will, consciousness, spacetime, and relativity from the perspective of a neuroscientist. Drawing on physics, evolutionary biology, and philosophy, he reveals that the brain’s ultimate purpose may be to predict the future—and thus that your brain is a time machine.

he doesn't understand animal psychology. even crows think ahead and plan and make tools. Koko understood she could and wanted to get pregnant

Don’t waste your time
Not saying anything of substance
First of all Google knows that it wasn't Einstein's theory of relativitybecause they've been instrumental in covering that up. He just introduced location without properties because they can't get the physics to work and that's how they fixed it. You're trying to solve one problem with another problem you haven't understood.. in fact I've worked out more about time then you even possibly came close to. But is that purposeful?: Knowing how Google operates I'm starting to think so.
@ 2:45 before I watch, I'm going to make my guess. To me, time is an instance, a coded experience in your brain, coded just like your sense of space, your sense of reason, your sense of sight, and your sense of sound. Another dimension of perception. We use the idea of time as a way to regulate our actions in relation to each other – and because action is linked to emotions, our perception of time changes with our emotional state as well. Now, I'll watch.
You say uh and um way too many times. You are a genius and if you practice a better delivery it would be so much easier on my prediction machine. It hurts my brain every time you say , Uh and Um and such. You are too smart to think of such simple things I know and uh,. um I just uh, um wanted to um, say it was a uh, um great lecture. uh.
Before reading the comments, I bet a lot of people thought of Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory specially in the Q&A, he moves like him, but Dean's the real deal.
I downloaded this Thank you
"I'm going to teach you to read the clock, son. No, it's not a book. To tell the time. Why, so you know when to get up to go to school. Yes, I know mummy does that for you. If someone asked you what the time was, and you didn't know, you'd feel foolish."
"Why doesn't he feel foolish."
"Listen. See this on my wrist? It's a clock. It's not really a clock; it's a watch. That's it. I watch it. It's a wristwatch. Now this time is made up of zones; yes, like American football. Zones. No, it doesn't have a quarterback, it has quarter hours.
Now listen. The zones are periods of time, like your schoolclasses. Not geography and history but hours, minutes and seconds. Hours, not ours. Hours.
Now In every day there are 24 hours; 12 in the day and 12 in the night. A day is made up of a day and a night. Clear? There are 3 pointers called hands. They point to the hour. Yes, I know we have 2 hands. The first hand is the hour hand; the second hand is the minute hand; and the third hand is the second hand. The third hand is the second hand. Are you stupid?
Ok, forget about the third hand. Now we have 2 hands, the hour hand and the minute hand, fat and thin, on the face of the clock or watch. No, it isn't a human face. Yes, I know it has Mickey Mouse on it.
At the top of the clock is 1 and 2, twelve. It's not 3. I know my wrist is sideways. It's a 12 and the 12 is the top. Not a tabletop or spinning top. It's like a top, yes, the hands spin or move like a top. When the thin hand and fat hand point to the 1 and 2 it's 12 O'Clock. How do I know it's daytime? If it was night you wouldn't be able to see it, dummkopf. The thin hand moves away from the fat hand to the 1. Now that 1 is 5. 2 is 10, 3 is 15, 4 is 20, 5 is 25 and 6 is the half. Get it? 12 is the whole, so 6 is the half. 7 is 25 to or 35 past. The fat hand moves slowly. Yes, because it's heavier- wake up. So by the time the fat hand moves round to the one, which is the 5 for the minute hand, and the thin hand has zoomed around to the 1 and 2 again, what time is it?
"5 O'Clock."
"That's the time now, dumbo. Am I wasting my time?" [ with thanks to dave allen ]
One more empty talk. And the few points present are mistaken.
this guy is stupid, a perfect example of other species having future awareness and the concept of potential future events is the bird who gets a small bit of bread, instead of eating the bread he uses it as bait for a large fish, he then eats the fish. THIS MEANS A BIRD IS EVERY BIT as capable as a human of understanding the passing of time. this dean buonomano IS A FUCKING IDIOT. "awareness of the passing of time is what seperates humans from animals" SILLY CUNT.
Who cares if you are an ateist! 🤦🏻♂️
Oh, there's no shortage to address climate change. Geoengineering aside, china and the US are planning on building a mirror array in space to deflect sunlight, in turn, creating an auction where global elite can bid on weather changes.
Q&A part was more amusing than the main talk!
Great talk.
Bullshit! My brain tells me I'm a pony.
