Use one hand to touch your nose, and the other to touch one of your feet, at exactly the same time. You will experience them as simultaneous acts.

用一只手碰碰你的鼻子，同時用另一只手去碰你的腳，你會覺得這兩件事是同時發生的。

Experiments have shown that the lag between things happening and us experiencing them is about 80 milliseconds.

實驗表明，從事件真正發生到我們的大腦體驗到事件的發生，中間大約有80毫秒的時滯。
