When an experience scares us, an area of the brain called the amygdala kicks into play. This part of the brain that is responsible for detecting fear and preparing for emergency events. It is understood that in situations that provoke the fear response, the brain accumulates lots of new information, which is all collected within a very short period of time.
This means that frightening experiences generate richer and denser memories, which make us believe that the time elapsed was greater than the physical reality. Whenever you get the chance to go to a different shop or pub, give it a go - instead of sticking to going to the same places. By breaking routines, you create new experiences and memories in the brain. This prevents the brain from merging all your experiences into the same memory, which makes life feel like it is passing faster than it really is.
At 24? At 84? Well, if you are still counting… it takes a load more time memory dividing than 4. No worries!!! I used to think that for a long time, but an alternative just popped into mind that I suspect is actually what is happening. A child sleeps in such a manner that each morning when it wakes up it is like a new being. As we age this capacity for sleep to complete dissolve our feeling of the past fades and as it fades, like an old coat we start to grow as we age which more and more highlights our life as a continuum.
It is almost impossible for person as an adult to experience how they slept as a child, or the degree to which sleep cleaned out automated processes from which we derive our sense of the passage of time.
But under certain unusual but natural conditions it can happen. But its possible there is a reason why it biologically happens like this. As we age responsibilities arise that would make the sort of sleep a very young child has impractical.
Perception of time is inversely proportional to age. It is relative like how things appear to get smaller as you grow taller.
It is because…. As we get older we forget so much during the course of a year that Xmas seems to come round every few months. However, when we concentrate on what interests us such as my observing my many grandchildren growing up they seem to have been small little adults for millennia with squeaky voices growing only slowly.
Hope that makes sense! I too have thought that time perception is biological aging. Like a car starting out on a hill, at birth and through childhood, time moves slowly until we reach the top, middle age or just before. It seems to me to be tied to our biological growth and subsequent deterioration. Time perception ruled at a cellular level. All i want to say that my elementary school lasted forever, as well as days in a high school. Times began to fly when in a college. In other words, it is what it is.
Time is goin by quick because we wasting time thinking about why time goes by quick. In the meantime, take me back to Love Machine. Time goes faster because ,when you are younger time goes slow because you have a lot less to think about , As you age you have more to think about ie work,family ,finance , etc so the old adage is when your busy time flows faster does that make sense!!
Death and a Black Hole have common traits. Time moves faster as we get nearer our time of death. Just as an object gets nearer a Black Hole the faster it travels. Death is the non-existence of time as is the object that travels into a Black Hole approaching non-existence.
When I was young we are on the outer parts of the whirlpool, but as I get older I move closer and closer, time moves faster and faster until I reach the middle at the end of life. And thennnn…..? You are his child. If you have questions, please read at LDS. I absolutely love this!!! Thank you!! Everyone so busy tryin to find a happy life. Happy like any other emotion is for the moment. I am 20 and my birthday is in 3 months time, more and more it feels like days turn into weeks and months just fly by.
My 20th b day seems like it was about 5 months ago. Depressing me big time. This makes youth feel longer. As we age and settle into schedules, our experiences blend together and become the same, making time seem to move faster than before.
My opinion? Be curious for new experiences with ravenous hunger. You have anxiety and difficulty sleeping because your mind is obsessed with these spalling thoughts. My mind was in turmoil when I was a teenager. The perception of time is like riding a sleigh off a snow covered mountain. The sleigh picks up speed as it descends. The years are whizzing by and it seems like only yesterday that I was just fourteen!
I suggest learning to live in the eternal NOW and accepting the things you cannot change. Decide who you are and what your mission is during your brief journey on spaceship earth. Be grateful for each day because it is a Present. Peace and Blessings Always remember that God loves you!
So enjoy the time you have without worry of time. Enjoy your life! Take chances, tell the people you love, that you love them! And yes God loves you! Love you all! Spend time enjoying every day and make sure to appreciate all the good things and people in your life.
That we enjoy the journey. The fact that you are already thinking about this means that you are very special. Life is short. As you get older, you experience less new things.
In fact, time does fly when we are having fun. Engaging in a novel exploit makes time appear to pass more quickly in the moment. But if we remember that activity later on, it will seem to have lasted longer than more mundane experiences.
The reason? Our brain encodes new experiences, but not familiar ones, into memory, and our retrospective judgment of time is based on how many new memories we create over a certain period. In other words, the more new memories we build on a weekend getaway, the longer that trip will seem in hindsight.
This phenomenon, which Hammond has dubbed the holiday paradox, seems to present one of the best clues as to why, in retrospect, time seems to pass more quickly the older we get. From childhood to early adulthood, we have many fresh experiences and learn countless new skills. As adults, though, our lives become more routine, and we experience fewer unfamiliar moments. Create a predictable routine. Achieve flow. Break time down into blocks.
Split your least pleasant tasks. Put something on in the background. Do things you genuinely enjoy. Practice a mental challenge.
