What’s Your Brain’s Role in Creating Space & Time?
Very interesting piece. As a linguist, it makes me wonder about the implications for language processing. Many linguists agree that the linear order of linguistic strings (i.e, how linguistic input stretches through time) does not correspond to the structural description that our mind produces of language. The latter would be a hierarchical structure. One that runs from top to bottom, rather than linearly, across time. I would love to be able to match this to the insights of the study of time from the point of view of physics and the philosophy of time, as explained in this video. Really interesting stuff.
