Is it true that...?
Answer:
Yes, it is true. When you are 10, a year is 10% of your life. When you are 20, a year is 5% of your life. When you are 50, a year is 2% of your life.
The brain seems to measure time by experience. The more experience you have, the less the impact of any one given event.
That may help keep us sane.
I don't think that's true. It's amazing how much I don't remeber of my childhodd and it ended too fast to recognize little parts of it. It really only goes slow when all you do is wait until you're older. Or when you wish you were old enough to do this or that.
It's just a phenomenon.
You're a kid. What do you do in life that requires a huge time investment? Not much. You play, you go to school, you play, you eat, you sleep. You play. Of course its going to go slow if you have three things in your life to do.
You add a bit more to your life come teen years so the life speeds.
Come adulthood, you are trying to do 5,000 things in one day. There is not enough time in the day. The day flies by because you need it to.
But, a year is merely a year and a generation is a generation... they are all the same.
No its not true it just seems that way.
its probably a saying. But it varies for everyone. I'd say my childhood was long (but great) my teenage years went by in a flash (thank god) and I'm not quite a adult yet so I can't answer that last part.
No. Darlin we all travel into the future at the same rate as anyone else. Sixty seconds per minute, at a rate of sixty minutes per hour. Twenty four times a day.
The perception of time flying is all psychological, the reality is that a minute from nineteen- sixty seven, and a minute from two thousand and seven are both equal in value.
In sixty seven I was twelve going on thirteen, summers were too short and schooldays were far too long a time for a boy like me.
I'm in my fifties now and an hour only has sixty minutes, like it did forty years ago. If it seems to me that time flies? It's all in my mind.
It's a state of mind. When you having a great time it flys by, right? However when you're bored or anxious or hurting or whatever the situation is it seems like time passes very slowly.
i think it matters at what point your at. see when you are a kid, it seems like forever til you become a teenager and when your a freshman (in high school) it seems like you'll never graduate but when you look back on it, it seems like you started yesterday. everything seems faster when you look back on it, whether you look at hours or years- time flies. (old saying but still true) so just relax and enjoy it
I'm 30, but all of my life so far is over, and what do I have to show for it? A flash of memories. I think that time goes by fast, as we can only experience one second at a time.
im 15 and so far it has been like that 4 me
Time seems to go faster and faster -- it's not a sudden thing.
It's simple math.
When you were five, a year was a really big hunk of your life; even a month was a long time.
When you're 40, a year isn't as big a thing. You've seen so many come and go.
Your perception of time does change with the years as they pass, I am 61 and it seems like years pass by now faster than ever, and I don't seem to have enough hours in a day to accomplish what I want.
It is pure perception, I can't explain why it happens with age.
The answer above is on the mark.
