Summary
This episode explores the divide between physical time and biological time. While clocks measure duration uniformly, living systems run on internal processes that can speed up, slow down, or pause depending on metabolism and environment. Aging emerges not from time itself, but from accumulated irreversible changes and limits in thermodynamic maintenance. Structured through rhythms and information networks, biological time is functional and adaptive—suggesting that life doesn’t just exist in time, but actively processes and modulates it.
