It takes time for the 'signal' to cross the synapses (junctions) between neurons.

Once, a long time ago in a publication far away, I saw the figure of 123 meters per second

for the speed of nerve impulses through the body. I don't know whether that figure is still

accepted, but you can be sure that it's way way way less than the speed of light, and

almost certainly less than the speed of sound.

Do you remember the last time you whacked your finger with a hammer, or hit your toe

on the foot of the bed, or cut yourself deeply, and how long you had to think to yourself

"Man, that's gonna hurt." after you heard it or saw it but before you felt it ?
