Why Life Speeds Up As You Get Older?

Why Time Feels Faster As You Get Older. The Science Behind It Have you ever wondered why childhood summers felt like they lasted forever, but entire years now disappear in what feels like weeks? You're not imagining it. There's real science behind why time seems to speed up as you age — and it has nothing to do with being busy. In this video, we break down the two mechanisms inside your brain that control how you experience time — and why both of them start working against you the older you get. What you'll learn: → Why a single summer at age 8 can feel longer than your entire 27th year → The "neural clock" theory and how your brain's processing speed changes over a lifetime → Adrian Bejan's 2019 Duke University research on neural signal transmission and aging → Why your brain consumes 66% of your body's calories at age 5 → The proportional theory of time — and why it falls apart under scrutiny → How novelty and memory density reshape your perception of the past → The time paradox: why fun moments feel short but leave long memories → What you can actually do to slow time down Research referenced in this video: • Bejan, A.
