Does time move faster as you age? NPR recently addressed this subject. http://www.wbur.org/npr/122322542
One theory is that as we age we are no longer experiencing so many "firsts" and life is based more on routine. I can kinda understand their logic. However, why is it when I am doing something routine it seems to take forever, but when I am doing something new or challenging, the day seems to fly by. For example, most people say the holidays fly by because there is so much to do.
I always thought perhaps the time flying by sensation was more of a perspective thing. For example, one day in a 5 year olds life is a greater percentage of total alive time than the percentage of one day of adult time out of ones total current alive time. Therefore, I guess time will go faster and faster every day. I wonder what time feels for a 88 year old. What do you think?
