Has anyone else had the feeling that time is moving faster?

Childhood felt like a century to me. Is time dilating? I feel like it's moving faster. The week is practically almost always over already.

It is called relative time acceleration.
I think it is because the older you are, the more you have experienced before. There is not that much new, so less to pay attention to.

I can't believe how fast time is flying by.
That's what happens with old people. 👴

Maybe its going faster because everything is less connected like a movie. I think this because when I'm looking at movies the time goes by slower.

The older you get, the faster time seems to go. Except last year or two for me, time has gone all wibbly wobbly and something that happened a week ago seems like months have passed, but the week itself felt like a day or two.

@SarahAndSamantha Yep, as you get older, the faster the time passes, cruel!

@JimboSaturn very true.

As you age, time moves more rapidly.

time does go faster as we age. we're taking in less information. every day life becomes less about being curious and taking in new experiences and more about reaching the next day.

@looping It's also a question of the percentage of your life that a year is. When you're 10 years old, a year is 10% of your life. When you're 40, a year is 2.5% of your life, and when you're 100, a year is 1% of your life.

True true true...i can feel it!
We are getting older and older lol
It feels like that to everyone as we age. It's just life, BAY-BAY.

I've heard there are people actually researching this phenomenon. It's partly psychological, but apparently there's also a physics aspect to it.
