I vaguely remember reading something about how if you play music (in time) with other people you’re basically time travelling because the internal processing time means that if you were truely hearing and reacting, everything would get slower and slower and/or out of sync. Maybe the same with any activity involving high levels of coordination between senses?

Let’s get physical, (meta)physical!
Have we mentioned the speed of nerve transmission, or brain waves? Iirc our nerves convey electric impulses from our body to our central nervous system at ≈ 80 m/s. Even with things happening truly ‘now’, we don’t perceive them until fractions of a second later, because of that lag, and our brains process that moment as ‘now’.
