your brain's perception of time does not follow a straight line between two points

Although we can make shockingly precise time estimates,when we experience something new, unusual, or dynamic,like hopping on one foot while taking instructions from a voice on the computer,or, say, jumping out of an airplane,we often miscalculate how much time has passed.Meaning, if you bungee jump for the first time,your fall to the bottom may seem like it lasted for 10 seconds while the recorded time may actually show that the jump only lasted for 5.The reason for this difference is unlike your body's physical drop to the bottom,your brain's perception of time does not follow a straight line between two points.Some scientists even believe your brain follows more of a curved path that is dependent on the amount of information you take in as you fall downwards.
