Why Does Time Passes Faster As We Grow?

Why does time feel like it passes faster as we grow? Do you remember the summer when you were ten years old? It lasted forever. Now look at your own year. You blinked, and it's almost over. But the real answer is far stranger than "that's just what happens when you get older." In this video, you'll discover why your brain isn't actually running faster, and what is really happening in the way your memories get built. You'll meet three explanations for this mystery, see the experiment that tested one of them, and learn why repetition quietly shrinks your years while novelty stretches them back out. You'll also find out why the years you remember are, in a very real sense, the years you lived. If this video made you look at your own year differently, hit like, leave a comment about the last time you did something for the first time, and subscribe for more stories about your brain, your ancestors, and the strange science of being human. #timeperception #whytimeflies #timespeedsup #psychology #neuroscience #humanbrain #memory #aging #growingup #davideagleman #reminiscencebump #novelty #brainscience #educationalvideo #doodleanimation #explainervideo #sciencefacts #humanbehavior #howthebrainworks #timegoesfaster
