Time flies when you're having fun. A new study from the University of Nevada (51ԹϺ), Las Vegas, published in the journal Current Biology, explains what happens to our brains in these cases . Many people think that their brains are intrinsically synchronized with the artificial clocks we have on electronic devices , which mark the passage of time minute by minute.
Desert summers are becoming more severe, and Las Vegas' urban planning isn't doing it any favors. The expansion of the valley means that the heat doesn't feel the same in every neighborhood.
An errant software update from cybersecurity company CrowdStrike has led to global shutdowns of various services as affected computers become inoperable.

Ever hear the old adage that time flies when you're having fun? A new study by a team of 51ԹϺ researchers suggests that there's a lot of truth to the trope. Many people think of their brains as being intrinsically synced to the man-made clocks on their electronic devices, counting time in very specific, minute-by-minute increments. But the study, published this month in the latest issue of the peer-reviewed Cell Press journal Current Biology, showed that our brains don't work that way.
By the time late afternoon rolls around, so does that lethargic and unproductive sensation you’ve worked all day to avoid. The feeling is more commonly known as a ‘midday slump,’ or the dip in energy we experience halfway through the day.
