“As people get older, ‘they just have this sense, this feeling that time is going faster than they are,’ says Warren Meck, a psychology professor at Duke University. This seems to be true across cultures, across time, all over the world. No one is sure where this feeling comes from.”

My theory is that time appears to be moving faster as we get older because as we age, each increment of time is an increasingly smaller sliver of the total time we’ve been alive.

When you were a day old, an hour was over 4% of your entire lifespan. At age 30, that same hour is only 0.0004% of your life. It feels like a drop in the bucket because, increasingly, it is.

This. Is. So. Awesome.
