Ask Moo
in miles per hour what is the speed of thought?
Ignoring the fact that it's not measured in MPH, according to this article, it is approximately 300 milliseconds.
That's how long it took a volunteer to begin to understand a pictured object. Add to that another 250 to 450 milliseconds to fully comprehend what it was. Total speed of thought: between 550 and 750 milliseconds.
