Season 1, Episode 6
Think about your relationship with ‘time’ over the last few days. Chances are it’s flown when you were having fun and dragged when you weren’t. You’ve probably saved some, made some, lost some, bent some - maybe even killed some.
But what does this elusive concept of time really mean? Eddie Harran is a temporal (time) designer and futurist and he’s here to shine a light on its deeply mysterious nature.
Eddie Harran studies time. To be exact, he is a temporal designer, futurist and researcher who studies chronosophy.
Eddie set up Temporal Labs as a dedicated research lab to investigate the impact of time on humanity. Through an alter ego persona, called Dr Time, Eddie shares his discoveries on world stages to build time literacy and encourage people to inquire about the nature of time.
