Human thought takes time to form, and so the “right now” that we're experiencing inside our skulls is always a little later than what's going on in the outside world. It takes 500 milliseconds, or half a second, for sensory information from the outside world to be incorporated into conscious experience.

Increasing latency above 13 ms has an increasingly negative impact on human performance for a given task.
