In this conversation, Neil deGrasse Tyson, alongside co-hosts Chuck Nice and Gary O’Reilly, speaks with neuroscientist Dean Buonomano about how humans and animals perceive time without clocks. They explore how timing is deeply embedded in brain function, language, memory, and evolution, and how our sense of time’s flow may conflict with physics but remain essential to consciousness, mental time travel, awareness of death, and long-term planning.
