[00:00:00][music] >> In 1969, a psychologist named Robert [music] Ornstein published an experiment that devoured everything.

[00:00:10]He proved that the brain does not measure time. It measures the amount of new information.

[00:00:16]The more stimuli there are per minute, [music] the shorter the time feels.

[00:00:19]TikTok, 100 videos per minute, time flies.

[00:00:22]>> [music] >> Boring class, one idea every half hour, time is running out.

[00:00:28]And that's why we're not wasting time [music] scrolling.

[00:00:30]We're erasing it.

[00:00:32]An entire hour disappears and [music] we remember nothing from it and we ask, "Where did the week go?

[00:00:37]Where did the month go?

[00:00:39]Where did the summer vacation go?"

[00:00:41]We're young, but life slips through our fingers.

[00:00:44]3,000 years ago, Moses prayed a special request, "Teach us to number [music] our days so that we may gain a heart of wisdom."

[00:00:51]Let's understand this.

[00:00:53]Moses didn't ask, "Give me more time."

[00:00:56]He asked, "Teach me to count the days."

[00:00:58]The counting of the Omer is the demonstration of this.

[00:01:02]49 days [music] during which we force ourselves to pause and count because what isn't counted disappears.

[00:01:08]>> [music] >> Science says that time without information vanishes from the brain.

[00:01:12]Moses knew that time without intention disappears [music] from life.

[00:01:16]The Holy One, blessed be He, did not give us endless days. He gave us these days [music] and asks us to count them.

[00:01:23]Let's not let life fly by without us having seen it.

[00:01:26]Let's count and live.
