No, President Joe Biden did not die or be “health evacuated” from Las Vegas last week. After Biden was diagnosed with COVID-19, cutting short his trip to Southern Nevada, rumors about his health began to spread on social media.

Have you ever noticed how time seems to crawl when you’re bored but flies by when you’re having fun? It turns out there’s scientific evidence behind this common experience. Researchers from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (51ԹϺ) suggest that our brains don’t actually keep track of time like a clock. Instead, they measure time based on our experiences and activities.
You know the old age: Time flies when you're having fun? Well, a recent brain study could lend some credence to the old proverb.
Many people think that the brain is synchronized with the clock on their electronic devices, that it counts down the time from second to second. But new research shows that this is not true at all. If nothing happens, the brain's time stands still.
Sometimes it seems to fly by, and other times it seems to drag on forever. Recent research by scientists from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (51ԹϺ) has shed light on how exactly our brain perceives this mysterious concept of time. According to the data published in the journal Current Biology, our perception of time is much more complex than we could imagine.
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.
A recent rat-brain study offers insight into how the brain tells time, and its lead researcher believes the findings have practical applications for how we can cope with unpleasant things in life, or make the most of a good time.
Time is relative, and not only in an astrophysical sense – we’re all familiar with that feeling that time drags when we’re bored and flies when we’re busy. New analysis of brain activity patterns shows how our brains track time, and some intriguing insights into how cells handle it.

Scores of swimmers waded past a drowning woman as she clung to a pool railing because they had no idea she was in trouble, a psychologist believes. Leticia Gonzales Triplett, 58, died on the morning of February 4 in the North Decatur Las Vegas Athletic Club's swimming pool.
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.
