Think about an object inanimate or alive..How long did it take for you
to think about it ?
Is that equal to the time it takes to utter it ?
For example you thought about Object-X. The time you took to think
about it is the same time you will take to utter 'Object-X'
Now think about an action.
For example 'I will buy a car'
Again the time you took for thinking that is I think same the time you
are going to take to utter it.
Another example would be you thinking about something whose
name(verbally) is very long, in which case you think with shortened
description of it.Again the time you took for thinking about it would
be same as uttering the shortened description of the object.
Any comments ? Contradicting examples ? More thoughts ?
One different case would be dreaming (while sleeping )about
something .
regards
