Why Does Time Slow Down During Car Accidents?

The video explores the concept of time dilation, a phenomenon where time seems to slow down during intense situations, similar to the 'bullet time' effect in movies. It discusses how the brain might process more information to create this effect, citing studies on athletes and experiments with perceptual chronometers. However, not all research agrees, with some suggesting time dilation is a memory distortion. The debate continues, with future research focusing on neurological causes.
