Film Lens
The documentary examines the concept of time through the lens of a mythical creature known as the star whale, which can consume solar systems and experiences time differently due to its speed. It discusses how this creature's perception of time contrasts with human understanding, illustrating that time is subjective and varies based on factors such as speed and evolution. The film uses the star whale's journey to question the nature of 'now' and whether it exists outside of human perception.
Additionally, the documentary shows how different species, like pigeons, perceive time at different rates, affecting their reactions to events. It emphasizes that human intuition about time is not a reliable measure of how the universe operates, leading to a deeper inquiry into the nature of existence and our experience of time.
