Yes, it takes longer for information from your toe for example to reach your brain that information from your eye. Your brain actually synchronizes all those inputs and so there's a delay for you and the information which got to your brain first has to "wait" to get synced with the one which got there last. You're always living slightly in the past.

How do they get synchronised? Is it just a matter of there being discrete time steps when the signals get processed? Do the time steps get longer as you grow taller in order to accommodate the longest nerves?
