Why does time feel faster as we get older? Which part scratched your brain the most? 👀 New question every single day — subscribe so you don't miss it. Mind Itch explores the weird, mysterious, and deeply human questions everyone has thought about but never fully answered. Key facts covered: • At age 10, one year is 10% of your life, while at age 50, one year is 2% of your life. • Researchers distinguish between experienced time in the moment and remembered time when looking back. • Novel and distinctive experiences tend to create more memory markers, making periods feel longer in retrospect. • Dopamine is involved in timing processes, and conditions or drugs that affect dopamine can alter time perception. • Routine experiences are often compressed in autobiographical memory because repeated events are less distinctive.
