“Increasingly our days are governed by seconds. They
are the currency of modern life, the pennies of our time: ubiquitous and
critical in a pinch (for instance, when you just manage to make a train
connection) yet sufficiently marginal to be frittered away or dropped by the
handful without thought.”—
New
Yorker staff writer Alan Burdick, Why Time Flies: A Mostly Scientific Investigation (2016)
