Time Perception: Time Moves Faster as You Get Older
Neuroscientific research suggests that time perception changes as humans age, with time feeling faster as people grow older. One explanation is that as people age, their brains process familiar experiences more quickly, making time feel like it's flying by. In contrast, when people are young, everything is novel and requires intense processing which creates the illusion that time moves slower. This concept is supported by the work of neuroscientist David Eagleman and could be an intriguing topic for a future podcast episode.
