This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Now here's a highlight from coast to coast

0:06.8

AM on IHeart Radio. Now we're back into time travel. You were telling us what got you

0:12.2

interested. After this horrible episode when you were four, as you became an adult, you stayed

0:18.6

interested in time travel. How come?

0:26.0

Yeah, well, because time seemed to pass differently for me. Again, I could make things slow down.

0:31.5

I could, again, I gave the example. If I drop a wine glass, I can catch it by the stem.

0:37.2

And I think one reason is, and this is happening a lot in sports, where people slow down the field.

1:19.3

That's right.

1:20.4

Well, there are a couple of theories about what time is.

1:22.9

One is that it only exists in our minds.

1:27.1

So in our minds, we feel that time flows forward.

1:31.6

And that's because we remember the past, but we don't remember the future.

1:35.5
