 Awe can be characterized as an experience of immense perceptual vastness that coincides with an increase in focus.Consequently, it is conceivable that one's temporal perception would slow down when experiencing awe.Possibly related to the oddball effect, research suggests that time seems to slow down for a person during dangerous events (such as a car accident, a robbery, or when a person perceives a potential predator or mate), or when a person skydives or bungee jumps, where they're capable of complex thoughts in what would normally be the blink of an eye (See Fight-or-flight response).
