Your experience has been noted by many others.
Time seems to ‘slow down’ in stressful situations, especially where it’s a matter of ‘life or death’ for the person involved.
It’s like the old saying ‘My whole life passed before my eyes’.
The human brain is a super computer that outdoes every man-made supercomputer ever built or likely to ever be.
You noticed that sound disappeared: The brain shut down unnecessary inputs to concentrate on the ‘problem’ at hand.
The sequence of events went into ‘slow motion’ in your head: All computation of the situation was ‘sped up’ turbo fast to get all the possible outcomes analyzed in order to choose the safest or least destructive choice.
Scientists tell us that REM dream sequences while we are asleep last for only a few seconds, yet the dreamer experiences a long, maybe minutes or hours long dream. It’s the brain unleashed to go as fast as it wants or needs to to organize thoughts or information during the sleep period, like a dog that has been cooped up in the house for a long period finally able to run free in the yard or field.
When under stress the same brain takes on a whole different operation program........................
CNN continues to claim title to being the only news agency claiming they have confirmed the eye injury story is wrong.
CNN = Commie Nut Network
Too bad that the general public (especially the Sharpton- type LIVs) are abysmally ignorant of these definitions.
Thank you for posting this!
I came to this thread with that in mind...what`s the story, does anybody know what`s the truth here on the injury? I am assuming it`s the same as the Zimmerman case, CNN argued that George had no injuries also.
“ats amore!”
[Eric Holder is fully aware of the medical condition of Wilson and the corroborating witness statements. He is not coming to Ferguson to plead on Wilson’s behalf. He brought a posse and a rope and he’s looking for a tree.]
Agreed. The victims of racism are now the racists with a hangmans noose ready to hang any and all white men and women and children whom they possibly hang and mock at. And obamanation regime with holderthe liar loves to be the judge and jury and hangman.
