Does the speed of time seem to increase as you grow older? As the years pile up, do they feel less like years and more like months? Deescoos.
Absolutely Absolutely. Think back to the summer vacations of third or fourth grade. The days seemed to stretch out forever. It seemed like you had an infinite amount of lazy moments until school started again. Why is the question. The two reasons I can think of are responsibility and time in existence. Our days seemed much longer when we had nothing to fill them with except our childish whims. As the days slowly fill with school, work, relationships, and bills the days and hours seem to fly by because our minds our busy with so many different things. I also think that this feeling has something to do with the amount of time we have existed. Just as we say that one of our years is perceived by a dog to be seven, we base our concept of time on how much we've experienced. When you were five years old, a year seemed amazingly long because one year was one fifth of your entire life. When you are eighty years old, one year will only be one sixteenth of your life. Time moves exponentially faster as you age.
I also feel that we have experience more things and have become accustomed to them. Therefore, we barely notice them and time sort of slides past them.
Time is relative to your speed relative to the speed of light. Once you approach about 0.7 c (c being the speed of light), you experience relativistic effects.
? You're right, but I think Whisper is talking about how you perceive time as you grow older, not as you approach 70% of the speed of light.
It's all in your head. I hope... Just enjoy your life and you won't find youself pondering over such thoughts. Time may seem to go faster to you because you're older, but if it does, the best thing you can do is do lots of exciting things to keep your mind off it. Time will still go at 1 second per second and you won't think otherwise. Also, turn off your sig.
Perception Once again, this is about perceived time. Would you agree that 10 minutes spent being poked continuously in the throat with knitting needles would seem to take a lot longer than 10 minutes playing beach volleyball?
