From the video
Answers: Why does time seem to speed up as we get older?
- Temporal illusions
- Subjective speed of time
- Proportion theory of aging
- Chronosaunder concept
- Social acceleration of time
- Prospective vs retrospective time
What it concludes
- Subjective time speed feels faster when an activity is full because we are not busy thinking about time.
- Retrospective time perception makes intervals seem shorter or longer depending on the number of distinct memories formed.
- The proportion theory suggests time feels faster as we age because each unit of time is smaller relative to our total life.
- Chronosaunder describes the realization that other people in the past had full lives just as important and real as ours.
- Social acceleration creates a fear of exclusion and makes the past and future feel increasingly distant from the present.
