Science: Eva Hoffman: Perceptions of Time
Time is generally considered a great given, an impartial and objective force that cannot be circumvented, deconstructed, or wished away, no matter how much Botox or collagen we inject. But what is the nature of time in our time? And why do we feel we have less time, even as we live longer than ever? What effects do computers, video games, and instant communications have on our perceptions, and our bodies? The acclaimed novelist, memoirist, historian and critic Eva Hoffman is the author of a small but provocative work called Time, which asserts that we are tampering with time in ways that affect how we live, the textures of our experience, and our very sense of what it is to be human. Presented as part of the Seattle Science Lectures series, with Pacific Science Center and University Book Store.
