Have you noticed time going faster as you've gotten older?
It started speeding up for me in 5th grade!!!!!
Does a fat baby fart?
YES!!
I find the music way too loud in this clip.
No a fat baby doesnt fart
Life is like a roll of toilet paper, the closer you get to the end the faster it goes
Oh 👎 no it's true !
🧐thats nice result i even hear
Walt Whitman over here lol.
N shyt
Agree with this, the years are rolling by as do the seasons - Thanks.
Yes
It also has a lot to do with what you do with your time. A leisurely day outdoors with family and friends seems to last a lot longer than a day plugged into my devices lost in the ether with nothing to show for my effort. One makes memories, the other doesn't.
Yes. With one you have connection and validation. The other is a sad replacement for human interaction!
Sum don't hv that luck
I totally am behind this 'experiencing new makes time slower' idea! I'm not that "old" yet but when I went to travel India ~ totally different surrounding totally different culture, people, many many 1st time experiences ~ 1st day seemed like it lasted 3 days! It was such a break in time continuity it was scary yet incredible.
We need to make more unique moments as we grow older. That makes a lot of sense to me. ✌💜
I have a very good memory. For example I can remember being in my play pen on the front porch of my grandparents house, watching my two aunts coming home from work. I can also distinctly remember waking up in my baby bed on a hot summer afternoon, with the sun shining through the west window which probably made me hot and sweaty.
I can remember the name of every teacher (nun) I had in grade school and the school room I was in. I can also remember specific events that occurred in each room.
I could go on and on. I try very hard to retain those memories because they were happy times for me.
I am 78 years old now and have no happy times. By happy I mean carefree happy, Christmas morning happy. Instead I have had enjoyable, satisfying days, like when my daughter, grandchildren and great grandson were born.
After grade school life became stressful. High school, collage, getting married, working (although my occupations) buying homes, moving around the country were all stressful situations.
I love my wife of 58 years. She could have divorced me, and was justified, many times but we loved each other and still do. She is the best thing that ever happened to me.
As time moves on time, compacts into never ending repetitive days.
My most enjoyable times are when my brother, sister and I meet for lunch every month or so. Why ? Because we talk about the old carefree days over a good lunch at our favorite restaurant.
To me death will be a welcome relief from this day to day drudge. I lost my faith in the hereafter when I grew up and started thinking for myself.
Time just IS. It only speeds up or drags in our brain.
Our brain IS our existence. Everything that we have experienced is resident in the brain. When the brain dies, we die.
Enough said. if you read all of this, thank you. Any and all comments are welcome. Stay safe.
God bless you sir ❤ I bet you have some great stories! I always felt like I shoulda been alive in that area I'm 43 but love hearing about the good o days before all the technology and foolishness ❤
I am turning 50 this year and already have these never ending repetitive days. So I can relate
Sounds like you are referring to the I as the ego. The true I is unconscious of itself.
Unfortunately, my mother-in-law passed away yesterday at 4:00 p.m. It dawned on me that in the order of things , my husband and I are the next generation in line to go. That is, God willing, nothing would happen to our children or grandchildren. I'll be close to 50 years old in a few weeks and recently found out that I have left ventricular congestive heart failure. I also have congenital cervical stenosis damaging my spinal cord and causing much pain and myelopathy. My husband and I were actually talking about how quickly time seems to be slipping by. Our children are adults and we are grandparents now. Both of us have some health issues and yet it seems like just yesterday I was young, single, and healthy. And it seems that each year that has gone by, especially recently, goes so quickly. And the older I'm getting the faster the years seem to go by. The only advice I can give is to hug your loved ones and tell them you love them everyday, and live life to the fullest extent that you can. None of us are promised tomorrow. Time Slips by quickly, but the important memories we make can last a lifetime ✨️
Is there a reason to the background music, and why as loud as the narration?
Hugh Donaldson ... AGREED.
Hugh Donaldson... AGREED.
I'm not even going to finish watching this.
The perception of time, is a personal thing. Some people like me, find everyday existence interesting, others become bored and ignore things, so seven days ago, as usual in summer I didn't have a breakfast, I got up late and ate and drank as I felt like it, while two guys clearing out my front room, were in my house and as for the laundry, I went to a launderette about two weeks ago. I find I can remember stuff other people my age, sixty one, forget.
I remember yesterday as well as today or years ago, so much so I notice when similar thoughts or events occur.
I realised at the age of about thirty five, that I needed to change my mindset, as a consequence time has slowed down for me, because I explore my world, like a child does.
I enjoy and learn all the time and also work through the bad stuff. Don't ignore life, live it. You don't need to let your brain age fast, just start by actually looking around you, live. I once watched someone on the other side of the road from me, listening to music ( it was the early nineties, before smart phones) and not seeing the bird that was flying from street tree to street tree, right next to him. Only several weeks ago I said to someone, that there was a beautiful rainbow in the sky and she said, " So what?! ". Live before you die and that doesn't mean partying, that means pay attention to the world around you.
it's like being on a train that keeps gaining speed
And then when life ends the train crashes
Saw an interesting explanation about this very thing. They explained that, as a child, time seems longer, because there's more to your experiences and learning. And as time goes on, the learning and experiences are seen differently. So it 'feels' like time is going faster and faster, but in reality, we know it's no different today, than the 1st year after we were born.
I always thought it was because we have to work and pay bills and just having job and bill stress and all other kinds of responsibilities. When you're a child you most likely only have school to worry about and can play the rest of the day. You have more time on your hands.
I’m pretty sure it’s more about the perception of time in our mind. That makes all the difference.
Yeah, when you’re a kid, you spend a lot of time just waiting for Christmas or your birthday to arrive. I feel that as you age, you get an idea of what a period of time, such as 10 years, “feels” like. How can you possibly understand that “feeling” when you’re a kid.
@@The_Bass_Stunters Well yeah after watching this I get that. I also think what I mentioned above may play a part in it too.
@@ITIsFunnyDamnIT Agree. As a child, time dragged. As a teen, it flew, with so many activities and such. High school was over in a blink. I think we THINK we have to live a certain way, and it sucks life out of us. Sometimes I just sit in the middle of my back yard and just BE. I listen to the nature. Breath deep. And just stay in NOW.
@@deirdremorris9234 Agreed, I think now most people are obsessed with being online and always trying to capture the moment instead of actually living in it anymore. I am so glad I was born in 1970, I knew what the world was like before the internet ( not saying the internet is bad ) but we lived in the moment, not trying to capture it. As I became a young adult in my 20s in the 90s i remember windows 95, and dial up that was slower than 56k and remember when everyone was happy about the faster dial up speed of 56k and than everyone couldn't wait for cable etc, all this also made the time just zoom by me. I'm in my 50s now. I can't believe I'm this old and think of how all things that happened that are just distant memories now.
If your keeping busy then time will go faster and you use it as memories later on in life. It's normal behavior nothing to worry or to be concerned about. Your living on the edge of adventure and learning. Love life to the fullest and be with the people you love.
The background music makes me want to stop listening because I can’t wait for the whole video to finish. Is that the reason to stop too?
"And that you're running out of time and you're about to cross the finish line." - Busta Rhymes
I feel like 2013 was yesterday
Very good video. You take science which can seem as dry as stale bread and humanize it. Ty
I like the saying *it's funny how the days always seem the same, but when we look back, everything is different.*
OMG!!....THANK YOU LORD "IT" IS REAL AND I'M NOT CRAZY!!!! time has a way of making my head spin these days!!! i KNOW a 40 hr. work week never went by as fast as a MONTH does now!!!!!
Exactly! Same here work weeks fly and weekends are scary torpedo passing I have constant dread that there's something happened to our Realm and we are in a warped time line, when our time is shortened. I'm 34, so it's not the age issue as much as Something has happened.
@@lanachild7731 As far as I know, time often already starts to fly by much faster around the age of 30, so you don't have to get old to experience this.
I’ve noticed the “queen “ of England was about 200 years old when I was a kid.
How did you know... were they telling you this? She's been injecting too much Adrenochrome to live only 96 years.
We travel full time and are every day somewhere else. Different city, different people, other environment, so no day is the same. Therefore there is no routine and thus time doesn’t pass quicker for us.
That's very true.
Kind of depressing...but that's life!😵😊
Yes, my neuroprocessor is an 8080A with a 5-1/4 floppy drive among other floppy things.
It does seem like the older you get the faster time goes.
Our mind starts to slow down as our body
Bring young everything seems to pass slowly
Thanks for sharing 👍😀
My parents always said the older we get, the faster times go by. We go from going to weddings to funerals in the blink of an eye. Time, at 54, has flown by, just as the seasons do.
Such is life.
Youth is wasted on the young.
To answer this in one word - perception.
If perception makes time slower we could be living like a thousand years in just one second.
Maybe it's a combination, of the two different theories that makes us perceive time faster as we get older and not just one or the other.
They're rolling by the older we're getting. 💯
At 10, a year was 1/10 of my time on earth. I'm 63. Now a year is 1/63 of my time on earth. That is why time appears to speed up as one ages.
I'm 60 and summer seems to last soooooooo long.
Ohhh I completely agree with you! ✌
@@crimsonfirelily , maybe you and Donald Velasquez live in a warmer region? I live in the Midwest and temperatures start to drop around September. So summer seems to go by quickly. 😕🤷🏽♀️
@@viviansmith1976 Yes, I do. I live in So California. It is so much hotter than normal now. We stay hot until the end of September sometimes even into October at times it is warm. I love Fall. 💜
@@viviansmith1976
I live in central California.
Today's weather is 110°.
IN THE PAST THIS MAKES BUT I WANT TO JNOW WHY MY KIDS AND OTHER KIDS FEEL TIME FLY BY EVERDAU NOW DAYS?
It seems like on the news they tell you an incident was five years ago , and you’re shocked because it seems like it just happened yesterday or a week ago but when you have a four year loan, it takes forever to pay off,Snail pace
Background music song name?
How does this explain the early deaths of people who died in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. Those who die young time goes a lot faster.
I am turning 23 this month, and time is flying so fast for me in a bad way. Do I need help?😅
I am THIRTEEN and it already flies so fast!
@lanimations2 If your time flies fast by being proactive. Is a good one. Currently, I am working 3 jobs, and there is no room for me to improve(I know self-victom mentality). And everyday I feel like I am losing my interest in living. Is lonely up here kid. Don't let go of your precious friends u make along the way.
Also, as life becomes more repetitive, our memory preoritiezes
Time seemed to last so long when I was younger now it seems so fast 😢
Yep😮💨
I thought it was because you forget more and the love of life gets stronger.
It's common sense to see why time flies by when aged versus youth and memory( the brain) is diminished with it. If that didn't occur,they'd be no Alzheimers now would they?
Music doesn’t fit the video. Makes it hard to concentrate on the narrator.
Wibbly Wobbly…
Attention span is important, too!
And, you made this a bit TOO LONG!
Most of us got lost & fogged/zoned out around 3 minutes in.
Sorry 😢
In my 9th grade everything seemed to move faster!
Same, except I can still remember Jenny going down on me under the stairwell like it was yesterday
What is time
It's all in your mind. It's all innate. Master time travel and become one with the universe!
tNice tutorials actually helped
I feel time is fast at 23, im going to be dead tomorrow or what
Time flys as we get older because we are having a lot of fun.
Liane Fehrle ... Even if you're not having fun.
@@evancoker194 , I agree.
P
What a bunch of crap!
That was boring.
