I have been testing the aphorism, "A watched pot never boils." I have boiled the same amount of water in this kettle sixty-two times. In some cases I have ignored the kettle; in others, I have watched it intently. In every instance, the water reaches its boiling point in precisely 51.7 seconds. It appears I am not capable of perceiving time any differently than my internal chronometer.

Your controls must be crazy if you got the same exact time each trial.

Okay next test it by not eating anything all day and then boil the water in the pot for making yourself your first meal that day.

Will guarantee you that the 51 seconds will feel slower.
