Full database: Circular T: A Collection of Uncertainties
Containing a blend of original text and information derived from official time standard reports, Circular T: A Collection of Uncertainties explores a spectrum of anomalous temporal phenomena such as geologist Michel Siffre’s discovery of circadian rhythms during his isolation experiments; philosopher William James’s measurement of the moment in what he termed the “specious present”; and neuroscientist David Eagleman’s exploration into the “oddball effect,” a phenomenon where unexpected events perceptually stretch time. Each poetic fragment in this collection acts as a discordant data point set against an assumed universalized standard.
