Why does time seem to fly by as we get older?
When you think back to your childhood or adolescent years, time seemed to pass a lot more slower than it does now, but why? Why did say, the first 10 years of our life seem so long while going from ages 30 to 40 seem to happen so quickly? Well people have looked into this, they managed to come to the conclusion. When you're 1 year old, that 1 year has been 100% of your life, when you've reached your 2nd birthday that year was a half of your life, when you're 3 years old that year was 1/3 of your life and when you're 40 years old 1 year is only 1/40 of your life, so it could be said that you become kind of adapted, but you could say that theory isn't very reliable. However, when something novel, something great or big happens in your life you tend to remember it, and as you look back on memories, you change something, its the reason why two different witnesses can give different feedbacks about a crime they saw being committed (not taking the fact that one is lying into account). It's been found that when something big happens in your life, like your first kiss. When you think back upon these memories within your first 10 years it feels longer because there's so much more to remember. So this means the more you do with your life, the more people you meet, the more places you see, generally the more big and exciting things you do in your life, the slower time will seem to pass, so get out there and live your life!
