Human brains are capable of ‘mental time travel,’ study says

The passage of time is all in your mind. 

Human brains independently measure episodic movement — that’s a trippy finding reported by French and Dutch researchers in a new study published Monday in the Journal of Neuroscience.  Our brains possess “an internal or inherent flow of time, that was not driven by something going on in the external world,” neuroscientist and lead study author Leila Reddy told Vice of her team’s findings, which she referred to as evidence of the human mind’s “mental time travel” ability.
