The idea of time blindness, or difficulty perceiving and managing time, has spread across social media. While there is no diagnosis for it, some people explain that, despite their best efforts, they frequently lose track of time, underestimate or overestimate how long tasks will take, show up late, and miss deadlines.

Time blindness is a psychological phenomenon that nearly everyone experiences from time to time, said Michael Manos, at the Cleveland Clinic.

“Who doesn’t get completely occupied with a hobby or a conversation they’re having with somebody, or some kind of activity that is so interesting that it occupies attention, and it takes attention away from other things that might be pressing?” he said.

Not all experts agree, but some suggest that it could be a limitation for some people.

Renae Beaumont, an associate professor of psychology in clinical psychiatry, said time blindness and flow, a state of intense focus in an activity that is engaging, enjoyable and temporarily distracts from the passage of time, are different phenomena.

“Flow is typically associated with positive emotions when you’re doing something you enjoy, and you are able to shift to a different task when you need to. Time blindness involves getting stuck, losing track of time and typically having trouble transitioning to a different task,” she said.

There is no clear consensus, but some researchers consider time blindness to be an impairment in temporal perception, or the way the brain experiences time.

Certain strategies may help people who struggle with time perception and management, experts said.

Use digital reminders including alarms, timers and calendars to keep track of appointments, dates and deadlines.

Scientists have found that generally the world feels brighter when you wake up.

People start the day in the best frame of mind in the morning, but end in the worst, at about midnight, the findings suggest, with the day of the week and the season also playing a part.


Mental health also tends to be more varied at weekends but steadier during the week, according to the study led by University College London.


“Generally, things do seem better in the morning,” the researchers concluded.


Mental health and wellbeing are dynamic in nature, and subject to change over short and long periods. However, few studies have looked at how they might change over the course of the day.


Scientists wanted to explore whether time of day was associated with variations in mental health, happiness, life satisfaction, sense of life being worthwhile and loneliness.


People in the study answered questionnaires, with questions such as: “In the past week, how happy did you feel?”, “How satisfied have you been with your life?”, and “To what extent have you felt the things you are doing in your life are worthwhile?”


Factors such as age, health conditions and whether people worked were taken into account.


The results showed that happiness, life satisfaction, and worthwhile ratings were all higher on Mondays and Fridays than on Sundays, while happiness was also higher on Tuesdays. There was no evidence that loneliness differed across days of the week.


There was clear evidence of a seasonal influence on mood. Compared with winter, people tended to have lower levels of depressive and anxiety symptoms and loneliness, and higher levels of happiness, and feeling that life was worthwhile in the three other seasons.


Mental health was best in the summer across all outcomes. But the season didn’t affect the associations observed across the day, however.


This was an observational study, so it cannot establish cause.

Synesthesia is when you hear music, but you see shapes. Or you hear a word or a name and instantly see a color. Synesthesia is a name for when you experience one of your senses through another. For example, you might hear the name "Alex" and see green. Or you might read the word "street" and taste citrus fruit.
The word "synesthesia" has Greek roots. It translates to “perceive together.” Synesthesia isn’t a disease or disorder. It won’t harm your health, and it doesn’t mean you’re mentally ill. Some studies suggest people who have it may do better on memory and intelligence tests than those who don’t.
One of the most common responses is to see letters, numbers, or sounds as colors. You might also see or hear a word and taste food; hear sounds and see shapes or patterns; feel a touch when seeing someone else being touched. (This is called mirror touch.)
It can be an annoyance. But most synesthetes see their condition as a sixth sense, not a drawback.
You can’t control it. The response happens right away. For example, if you hear a new piece of music, you may see a color or taste a flavor without any effort. It just happens.
It’s internal, mostly. The colors are just in your mind.
It stays the same over time. If you see the letter "A" in green today, you’ll see it in green 10 years from now.
It often starts in childhood. Studies of kids with synesthesia found that it develops over time.

Rain Is Coming to Burning Los Angeles and Will Bring Its Own Risks


Rain is forecast to begin as soon as Saturday afternoon and to continue as late as Monday evening, says meteorologist Kristan Lund of the National Weather Service’s Los Angeles office. The area desperately needs the precipitation, but experts are warily monitoring the situation because rain poses its own risks in recently burned areas— most notably the potential occurrence of mudslides and similar hazards. “Rain is good because we’ve been so dry,” Lund says. “However, if we get heavier rain rates or we get the thunderstorms, it’s actually a lot more dangerous because you can get debris flows.”

Fires do a couple of different things to the landscape that can increase the risk of burned material, soil and detritus hurtling out of control. When fires burn hot or long enough, they leave an invisible layer of waxy material just under the surface of the ground. This develops from decomposing leaves and other organic material, which contain naturally hydrophobic or water-repellent compounds. Fire can vaporize this litter, and the resulting gas seeps into the upper soil—where it quickly cools and condenses, forming the slippery layer.

When rain falls on ground that has been affected by this phenomenon, it can’t sink beyond the hydrophobic layer— so the water flows away, often hauling debris with it. “All of the trees, branches, everything that’s been burned—unfortunately, if it rains, that stuff just floats,” Lund says. “It’s really concerning.” Even a fire that isn’t severe enough to create a hydrophobic layer can still cause debris flows, says Danielle Touma, a climate scientist at the University of Texas at Austin. Under normal conditions, trees and other plants usually trap some rain above the surface, slowing the water’s downward journey. But on freshly burned land there’s much less greenery to interfere; all the rain immediately hits the ground. [...]

Fortunately, the rain should also help firefighters tame the blazes that remain active. The largest, the Palisades Fire, is currently 77 percent contained. The second largest, the Eaton Fire, is 95 percent contained. The Hughes Fire is third largest and only 56 percent contained. A fire can be fully contained but still burning. The containment percentage refers to the amount of the perimeter that has barriers that firefighters expect will prevent further spread.

Extraterrestrial tongues


The challenge of imagining alien communication is highlighted in the film Arrival (2016), where linguists confront a language strikingly different from any on Earth. While fictional alien languages like Klingon (Star Trek) often resemble human languages with variations in sound or syntax, the possibilities for extraterrestrial tongues are far more diverse. To truly grasp the potential for alien linguistic systems, we must consider the fundamental components of language itself: signs, structure, semantics, and pragmatics.

The first level, signs, encompasses the means of expression, which could extend beyond spoken words and written symbols to include gestures, smells (as in animal communication), or even electrical impulses. Structure, the second level, involves the organization of language, including grammar and syntax. While we might initially assume alien languages would share structural similarities with our own, they could radically differ, potentially lacking familiar elements like nouns or verbs, or employing entirely novel grammatical categories, perhaps akin to the way maps convey information.

Semantics, the third level, deals with meaning. Here, the problem of untranslatability arises. While some differences in meaning between human languages exist (e.g., the German word "Fernweh"), alien languages might present more fundamental challenges. If aliens perceive and categorize the world in fundamentally different ways, their language might express concepts we struggle to even grasp.

Despite these obstacles, communication may still be possible. Shared needs, such as describing the world or giving commands, could provide a basis for finding points of connection between alien and human languages. Pragmatics, the fourth level, concerns how language is used in context, including metaphors and social conventions. Differences at this level, particularly when combined with semantic differences, as illustrated by the Tamarian language in Star Trek: The Next Generation, can further complicate understanding.

Ultimately, contemplating the possibilities of alien communication pushes us to expand our understanding of language itself. It encourages us to move beyond our "anthropocentric bubble" and consider that alien languages might possess levels or structures we haven't yet imagined, potentially transforming our perspectives on consciousness, intelligence, and what it means to communicate.

Thirty-six is the new 60


A recent Finnish study, published in the Annals of Medicine, has drawn attention to the detrimental effects of unhealthy habits, revealing that heavy drinking, smoking, and lack of exercise are associated with declines in health in individuals as young as 36. This research tracked the health of children born in Jyväskylä, Finland, from 1959 onwards, indicating that these habits can cause cumulative damage to physical and mental health. While acknowledging the study's limitations, including its focus on a specific demographic and the exclusion of dietary factors, the core message emphasizes the importance of early intervention to address risky health behaviors. This prompts a broader reflection on personal health practices and the seeming paradox of facing agerelated health concerns at an age that once felt youthful.

This reflection is juxtaposed with the observation of a rising health consciousness among younger generations, particularly Gen Z, who are demonstrating a decline in traditional vices like smoking and embracing unique wellness trends often popularized through social media. It's considered whether this increased focus on hygiene and health is partly a consequence of pandemic culture, and questions arise about the implications for older individuals who may not have adopted these evolving health priorities. The conflicting messages surrounding healthy living contribute to uncertainty about the most effective path forward.

The conflicting information is particularly evident in discussions around alcohol consumption. While NHS guidance offers clear benefits for quitting smoking, such as reduced risks of heart attack and lung cancer, advice on alcohol is less definitive. A study in the Canadian Journal of Cardiology even suggests potential cardioprotective effects from white wine, champagne, and fruit, especially for individuals who are wealthy, well-educated, and active. This paradox adds to the uncertainty of navigating health recommendations and lifestyle choices.

Ultimately, many find themselves at a crossroads, weighing the potential risks and benefits of various lifestyle decisions and grappling with the complexities of conflicting health information. Nuanced perspectives on habits like alcohol consumption, which challenge traditional assumptions, further complicate the decision-making process. The ongoing debate underscores the broader challenge of making informed health decisions in an environment of evolving scientific understanding and contradictory advice.

This paradox adds to the uncertainty of navigating health recommendations and lifestyle choices.

Ultimately, many find themselves at a crossroads, weighing the potential risks and benefits of various lifestyle decisions and grappling with the complexities of conflicting health information. Nuanced perspectives on habits like alcohol consumption, which challenge traditional assumptions, further complicate the decision-making process. The ongoing debate underscores the broader challenge of making informed health decisions in an environment of evolving scientific understanding and contradictory advice.
