I'm still really stuck on Prof Felt's claim that we have no sense organ for time, made in the #4SEASST2020 plenary last night. I'm sitting here at my desk and without looking at my clock I can tell you many things about the time gained through my senses.
It is daytime - I can see the sun. It is morning - I can see it is in the east. It is not winter - I can see that the sun is not moving close to the horizon. It is late summer - I can see/smell/feel the ripe fruit on my fruit trees.
I can smell/hear more traffic so it is probably around 'rush hour'. I'm not feeling hungry, so I know it's not lunchtime or snack time or second breakfast time. I can see/feel the wrinkles on my hands so I know I'm older than I used to be. This just things off the top of my head
I think that is all the senses there already. Even proprioception is involved, ie as I discuss in this session for the #envhum streams event https://www.meetstreams.com/schedule/5-august-stream-trailer/ I had experience of going dizzy when thinking about conceptions of time where past is in front & future 'behind'
Time is only insensible when we conflate UTC or similar with really real time...
Had some good discussions with @emilflato & @L_borgesius about what is at stake in our continuing claims that time is intangible or ineffable. I believe it makes is harder to see time as an 'dimension of intervention', as one of the participants in the Q&A mentioned
And just to clarify here, Felt did say that for her clock time as a specific form of time is different to 'generic' time (see 1:56:00 https://www.easst4s2020prague.org/sl/ for those registered), but then again the claim that we can't sense it is even more problematic.
