You know how, as we get older, we often have the perception that
time seems to speed up?
If I’d been asked that question I’d probably have chalked it up to
increased responsibilities, increased ‘water under the bridge’, more
acquaintances and relationships to think about, remember, etc. All of
these things occupy a person, and ‘time always flies’ when we’re
‘having fun’, or are occupied.
There are various schools of thought on this subject, based on various studies. Here are three:
older individuals tend to perceive longer periods of time, such as
decades, as moving faster compared to shorter durations like weeks
or months; this perception partly due to the accumulation of fewer
new experiences, which our brains encode more richly when we are
younger. As a result, the more routine our lives become, the less
distinct each day feels, leading to a perception that time is speeding
up;
time/life ratio: A given unit of time, e.g., five years represents a greater percentage of a 10-year-old's life than a 40-yearold's life. This can lend to the perception that, in retrospect, those five years have passed more slowly when we are younger;
time perception is relative and kids perceive it differently.
Billy addresses this phenomenon in a conversation with Ptaah in Contact 548, of December 01, 2012. Interestingly, the perception of sped up time is not based on the the physical processes of aging, per se, but is an increase in activity of the cons
