What is Time Keeping Feat?
Dexter Morgan, after killing his brother Brian Moser at the end of the first season, kept track of the time since his brother's death, down to the minute, for a considerable period. If this feat were valid and flawless, it would be absolutely extraordinary, because for a human to consciously count every second while simultaneously engaging in daily life activities would require incredibly exceptional cognitive abilities and multitasking skills. Furthermore, the frequency of the brain would need to be higher than that of an ordinary human brain (on average, the human brain operates in the range of 8-12 Hz for alpha waves, 12-30 Hz for beta waves, and 30-100+ Hz for gamma waves; however, the processing speed required for continuous and conscious time tracking is far beyond these ranges). To make an estimated calculation, we first need to express this duration in seconds. 39 days, 22 hours, 18 minutes:
To be able to keep track of this time with an accuracy of 1 second, we need to use the following error propagation formula to calculate the required time measurement uncertainty (Δt) and oscillator frequency (f):
Here, ΔT = 1 second (our target total uncertainty), and n = 3,449,880 seconds. Therefore:
This means that Dexter would need to measure each second with an error margin of approximately 290 nanoseconds. The required oscillator frequency is:
Nevertheless, this would be a theoretical calculation, and keep in mind that the human …
