Since our sense of duration depends on the number of stimuli that we have
perceived and stored in our minds, it follows that if an interval has many divisions
— marked off visually or aurally — it tends to appear longer than an equal
interval ...

They studied intervals between the two beats of a metronome and determined an
'indifference point' (or zone), i.e. a duration for which the average error of
estimation is zero, the tendency being for shorter intervals to be overestimated
and ...

In the limit, when we consider B moving with speed c, the time interval 8t
becomes infinite. For speeds exceeding c, no correlation of A's clock and B's
clock is possible. We call 8t' the proper timef of the interval between the two
events at B, and ...
