Why does time seem to speed up as we get older ?
Re: Why does time seem to speed up as we get older ?
Sounds pretty scentific to me! Not sure what you mean by the 'red shift'-bit thoughKung-fu Hillbilly wrote:The universe is expanding with dark energy increasing the rate of which our galaxy is moving away from everything else. As this speed increases time dilation is experienced by matter, with objects of greater mass experiencing a faster red shift through the space time continuum. As we age we gain mass (get fatter) and are subjected to increased relativistic time dilation giving the perception of time going faster.
Hope that helps.

It is us grumpy old men slowing down that creates the illusion of time speeding up. Takes us old codgers twice as long to do the simplest things.

Sex makes time speed up.
Have you ever complained to a babe , oh, damn, that lasted so long, can't we shorten the time, I'd love to get back to reading the paper?
As you get older, less sex, so time slows down

THEY used YOUR example? You legend.TheGrinchSR wrote:http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/min ... get-older/
Scientific American - no BS involved. They even used my example: "The amount of time passed relative to one’s age varies.
For a 5-year-old...

I came here to say the exact same thing you beat me to it TheGrinchSR all of the other more scientific answers kind of just bullshit.TheGrinchSR wrote:http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/min ... get-older/

For a 5-year-old, one year is 20% of their entire life. For a 50-year-old, however, one year is only 2% of their life. This “ratio theory,” proposed by Janet in 1877, suggests that we are constantly comparing time intervals with the total amount of time we’ve already lived."

life too fast for you?
An easy fix , stop drinking, eating fatty foods and cakes, smoking and having sex and you will find life definitely slows down.

Re: Why does time seem to speed up as we get older ?
^^ Thanks for the tip.
I could use a few more hours in the day, so I might just put this to the test. Not sure about the 'stop having sex'. That would only save me 2 minutes. Hardly worth stopping for.
