Why are doctors everywhere attracted to the heartbeat sound? Are they secretly trying to time travel? Separated studies done by Cornell University and Royal Holloway University found that the perception of time depends on signals sent to the brain.
One important signal for the brain comes from the heart in every single beat. So the longer the interval of our heartbeat, the slower our time perception. Conversely, a shorter interval makes us believe that the time passes faster.
Seems like a bit of Einstein’s time relativity is also applicable in the medical field!
