5 d. ago People doing intense exercise experience time warp, study finds

Research suggests those who push themselves when working out perceive time to move more slowlyIf your sessions at the gym seem to drag on for hours, you are in good company. People who push themselves when working out report a form of time warp, making it feel as if they have been exercising for longer than they have, researchers say.Adults who took part in 4km cycling trials on exercise bikes perceived time to have slowed down, scientists said, with the cyclists underestimating how long they had been pedalling for by about 10%.

While this is an obvious truth to most geneticists, zoologists and mammoth experts, the endless promises that you might get to meet an extant version of this very-much extinct elephantid apparently necessitate me typing it.The latest on the conveyor belt of mammoth resurrection stories came this week in the form of a slightly hairy mouse.
