Paragraph 1 Talks about what time does. Talks about one fact of the word time It refutes the statement that time is elastic.
Paragraph 2 It says that we created the term or idea of time. It talks about the perception that time moves slower when you are a young than when you are old. Explains that we want to own time but we don't even know how many time do we have left in our life.
Paragraph #3-4 Claudia Hammond understands the many ways our perspective can manipulate time. In her book Time Warped she examines these ways. Also looks at our sense of time aesthetically and discovered people see or visualize time in different ways. For example, some people see Monday as red. Hammond explores in detail the puzzles of time, the tricks it plays and the ways we unconsciously amend our relationship with it. Hammond came up with the holiday paradox, this says that when we are relaxing on holiday, we feel that time cannot go faster.
False statements #1 and #2 Time is determined by the body s circadian rhythms Since this rhythms only affect our day/night cycles, they don t affect how we perceive time.

True statement Time is money This paragraph states that is true the say of Time is money because all of the variables it takes in account. Imagining a person walking down a street, walking at normal speed to get to his or her work during a rush hour. It s said that London and New York had the fastest times and that there was a correlation between the pace of life and gross domestic product. This comes to suggest a connection between time and money, since no-one can control time, the worst to things in life is waste time. Because it won t come back. Thanks to the Social psychologist Robert Levine, we are able to understand this statement.

We use our senses of space and memories to create a sense of future. Meaning that if we can imagine it, we are technically thinking ahead of time, or saying that we are time traveling to the future to predict what could happen in the situation we created or the situation that may happen.
