He stretches time
Mystics talk about moving beyond space and time. Scientists and skeptics laugh at that. Here is a guy who says he actually feels like he has stepped out of “linear time” as he is playing squash. He kinda goes faster by going slower! Can you stretch time?
MIKE HALL has taught himself to stretch time. He uses his powers to make him a better squash player. “It’s hard to describe, but it’s a feeling of stillness, like I’m not trapped in sequential time any more,” he says. “The ball still darts around, but it moves around the court at different speeds depending on the circumstances. It’s like I’ve stepped out of linear time.”
Hall, a sports coach from Edinburgh, UK, is talking about a state of mind known as “the zone”. He puts his abilities down to 12 years of studying the martial art t’ai chi, and now makes a living teaching other sportspeople how to “go faster by going slower”.
