how long is now?
AI text:
"The duration of "now" is not a fixed point in time but an extended perceptual experience, typically estimated to last between 2 and 3 seconds.
This window is necessary for the brain to integrate sensory inputs, perceive movement, and experience continuity in events such as music or speech.
Research indicates that perception and action function optimally within units of up to approximately 3 seconds, with tasks like clapping to a metronome failing when intervals exceed this duration.
The lived experience of "now" is thus a dynamic, integrated moment that structures conscious awareness and social interaction.
While physics may describe the present as a mathematical point without extension, psychological and neurological evidence supports an extended present that allows for the perception of change and temporal unity.
Some interpretations suggest that "now" may even be slightly delayed, as sensory information takes time to process in the brain, meaning we may experience events a fraction of a second after they occur.
