Why Time Feels Faster As You Age (It's Your Memory)

Remember when a single summer felt like it would never end? Now you blink, and it's December again. Time didn't speed up. Your brain changed the way it keeps track of it. In this video, you'll discover why a week feels normal but a decade feels like a blink, and what that reveals about the two clocks inside your head. You'll meet Paul Janet's proportional theory, the 2005 survey by Marc Wittmann and Sandra Lehnhoff, William James's observation from 1890, David Eagleman's free-fall experiment, and Claudia Hammond's holiday paradox. You'll also learn why routine acts like a time thief, why your teens and twenties feel so long in memory, and how a few small new experiences can make a year feel like a year again.
