Great Attractor, time dilation in moments of intense action

The clock rate of a CPU is measured in Hz and represents the number of cycles per second that can perform. It is a fixed amount for each computer.

In contrast, in the human brain, the clock rate varies greatly depending on the moment and the situation. In moments of rest or relaxation, while closing eyes, brain frequency drops (alpha waves); if eyes are open again and movement starts, brain frequency increases again (beta waves).

This is why the clock rate of the brain is related to the perception of time. Newly waked up, the frequency is very low and time flies without noticing it (contraction of time). While waiting at a crossroads of heavy traffic, the brain increases the frequency of brain waves to make time dilate to be able to perform the task with advantage, so that the 3 or 5 minutes of waiting, seem 15 or 20 minutes.

The Great Attractor is related with time dilation in moments of intense action.
