That’s when it seemingly fast-forwards into boiling mode. Why is that? There is a scientific explanation as to why it feels a watched pot takes longer to boil. When simply watching something uneventful, our brains become docile and less active and time seems to slow considerably.
When something traumatic is perceived, even mildly like the hissing and spewing of a pot boiling over, our brains are flooded with adrenaline and are jolted into high-speed reaction mode. It’s the same phenomenon accident victims often experience as their lives seemingly flash before their eyes in a few seconds.
