Speed of thought

[Darth Paul]

How long did it take the Great Gazoo to come up with a complex plan?

I stand corrected.

And a great example of this kind of thing occurred to me today. In the film The Whole Nine Yards, the scene in which Oz meets Jimmie:



Objectively about 2 seconds pass, but in Oz's mind, "at the speed of thought", we see headlines and stories from several newspapers in a great stylistic sequence as everything he remembers reading about his new neighbor suddenly flashes through his mind. This is a terrific illustration of the "speed of thought" as we're discussing it here, even if it's a relatively short one.
