What if time itself could be weaponised? What if the future of warfare wasn’t faster bullets or smarter bombs—but faster brains?
In this episode of Hangar 51 Files, we step inside the classified corridors of DARPA’s most unnerving programs—where neuroscience meets battlefield tempo, and perception becomes the new high ground. From brain-computer interfaces to vagus nerve stimulation, from drone operators trapped in moral limbo to soldiers being trained in real-time cognitive compression, this is the story of how the U.S. military is racing not just to dominate the battlefield, but to reprogram the soldier’s relationship with time itself.
🧠 Based on our in-depth investigative article Chronoform: The Secret Science of Asymmetric Time in Military Research, this episode explores how time perception is quietly being studied, shaped, and possibly manipulated—by those who already operate in milliseconds.
