5.1. Neuroscience and Psychology of Time
a. Neural Synchronization and Meditation
Studi Gamma Wave Synchrony:
Research shows that expert meditators (e.g., Tibetan monks) have high levels of gamma wave synchronization (40-100 Hz) in the prefrontal cortex. These waves are associated with information integration and "present moment" awareness --- empirical evidence for temporal resonance (Lutz et al., 2004). Implications for Paper: Gamma synchronization may be a neurophysiological indicator of absolute time resonance.
Default Mode Network (DMN) and Time Perception:
The DMN (mind-wandering brain network) is associated with the perception of linear time. When the DMN is inactive (e.g. during meditation or flow states), subjects report the experience of time "slowing down" or "stopping" (Wittmann, 2013). Implications: Modern time fragmentation may be related to DMN hyperactivity due to digital distractions.
b. Trauma and Time Distortion
PTSD patients often experience "time freezing" (time feels like it stops during trauma) or "telescoping" (old events feel like they just happened). This can be measured through questionnaires such asTrauma-Related Time Distortion Scale (Stetson et al., 2012). Relate to Postulate 4: The absolute-relative fragmentation of time triggers an existential crisis.
5.2. Physics and Biology of Time
a. Biological Clock and Quantum Synchronization
Cryptochromes: Proteins in the eyes of birds/mammals that regulate circadian rhythms react to quantum fluctuations in the Earth's magnetic field (Ritz et al., 2000). Implications: Absolute time resonance may be mediated by quantum-biological interactions.
Entrainment pada Slime Mold:
Physarum polycephalum(slime molds) can synchronize their movement rhythm with light/humidity fluctuations, even though they don't have a nervous system (Nakagaki et al., 2000).B Argumentation: Temporal resonance is a universal phenomenon, not exclusive to humans.
