ABSTRACT
Different places move at different paces2 . In New York City a minute can go by pretty quickly. In Las Vegas a night can feel like a whole weekend, and a whole weekend can feel like one night. And on the beaches of Hawaii or Australia’s northeast coast summertime can last a lifetime. These are anecdotes, of course, but research tells us similar stories. For example, researchers have shed light on the deeply unique characteristics of such different timespaces as Sicilian time, London time, and Cittàslow speed,3 only to mention a few.
