So that's why time passes faster when we get older
Have you ever had the feeling that the last year has flown by faster than the previous one? We are in the Website is seen not so long ago and became interested in why this is happening.
This interactive timeline explains how over the years more and more changes our perception of time that feels running faster and faster. It shows how we feel lived year, comparing it with our "absolute" time.
The scale invented by BMW design consultant from Austria Maximilian Kiener (Maximilian Kiener), based on the statement of the philosopher Jean Paul. In simplified form, it goes like this: 10-year-old child feels like 1/10 1 year of his life, and the 50-year-old man - like 1/50. Meanwhile, the whole life obviously is a constant (or absolute) value. When a child is only 1 month, the week is a quarter of his life, and therefore, of course, it seems like an eternity. If you are 14 years old, 1 year is about 7% of your life and also is quite a large gap. But at the age of 30 weeks - just a tiny part of life, and a year for the 50-year-old man - only 2% of life, so you subjectively feel these intervals as minor and are confident that they are very fast.
In other words, the longer we live, the shorter it seems every year with respect to all of our lives.
And remember, if you think one year is flying faster than the previous one, you're not crazy, you just get older.
So savor every happy moment, because after a few years, these moments of joy will slip faster and faster. Scroll down the scale and see for yourself.
