Sam Leith. Time is running down. Time is running out. The missile will launch. The bomb will go off. The sound of a clock is a shorthand for everything that the hero faces: a race against time.
A tightly wound plot, so to speak. The relationship between sound and time is one woven deep in our culture. Time is, as scientists know, a very strange thing indeed. It is, in other words, to some extent a by-product of our perceptions. The history of how we apprehend time flows through biology, astronomy and culture.
Our most basic sense of time is a biological one: the movement of the sun across the sky, dividing our world into days and nights. At this level we mark time the same way as did our ancestors who first learned to walk upright, and with our whole bodies. Is it dark or light? Is it cold or hot? And, for hunter-gatherers, early pastoralists or people who skipped breakfast: am I hungry? But as civilisations started to take shape, we moved towards a sense of time that was less subjective and more communal.
