Why Time Seems to Slow Down in Emergencies | LiveScience

(Einstein in bed)

From the page: "In The Matrix, the hero Neo could dodge bullets because time moved in slow motion for him during battles. Indeed, in the real world, people in danger often feel as if time slowed down for them.

This warping of time apparently does not result from the brain speeding up from adrenaline when in danger. Instead, this feeling seems to be an illusion, scientists now find."

Happy not to have been a volunteer to the experiments these guys did to test their theory;-)
