Fissionchips: The experiment in this video does NOT show that the mind's response time is "faster" during a heightened sense of panic. It seems to only illustrate what was published on dec. 7th in this study:

The article states: "Even though participants remembered their own falls as having taken one-third longer than those of the other study participants, they were not able to see more events in time. Instead, the longer duration was a trick of their memory, not an actual slow-motion experience."

I don't remember the results from the Kaku documentary but I would be very surprised if it showed otherwise. I think you might be mistaken but if not, I am VERY curious why there would be a discrepancy between the above study and the film.

Mink, this experiment has absolutely nothing to do with intelligence.
