Why Time Speeds Up As You Get Older

When you were a child, summer lasted forever and a single school year felt like an era. Now you blink and it's December again, and another whole year is somehow gone. Somewhere along the way, without anyone telling you, time sped up. But here's the strange part: the clock never changed. In this video you'll discover why time feels faster the older you get — and how to slow it back down. From Paul Janet's proportion theory (a year is a fifth of a five-year-old's life but only a fiftieth at fifty), to the way your brain measures time by new memories (David Eagleman), to the "holiday paradox" (Claudia Hammond), to the idea that aging brains capture fewer mental snapshots per second (Adrian Bejan) — it all points to one unsettling truth: routine collapses your years into nothing. But if time is made of memories, you have far more control over it than you think. If this made you want to live more of your life, leave a like, tell me in the comments the last thing that made time feel slow, and subscribe for more questions that quietly change how you see everything. #time #whytimeflies #timeperception #memory #psychology #pauljanet #davideagleman #claudiahammond #adrianbejan #holidayparadox #neuroscience #howthebrainworks #liveinthemoment #novelty #mindfulness #didyouknow #mindblown #philosophy #howtoslowtimedown #selfimprovement #deepthoughts #life #consciousness #educational
