It's just the way we remember them that gets skewed. Which is still scary to think about.Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11866326314279698355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1760854303694440563.post-42695550027259878092016-01-07T23:16:10.992+02:002016-01-07T23:16:10.992+02:00Life sure is interesting. It changes all the time,...Life sure is interesting. It changes all the time, as do we. Nice drawing, btw. I just dropped in to say, (though I think you might've heard it before in this Vsauce video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pxb5lSPLy9c) that there's a reason people tend to feel like time accelerates faster the older they get. And that is, because humans apparently tend to think in logarithmic patterns. That is, when you are 3 years old, those 3 years are your entire life. But when you're, say, 60 years old, 3 years are but 1/20th of your life, thus your brain interprets the time to be shorter. That said, this is no absolute, just a general explanation. There are many more things that impact on our perception of time, be it different hormones, boredom, events in our life, etc. The say that time flies fast when you're having fun. Ironically, it goes fast if you're bored for a long time too, as events melt together in your memory later, if not enough varying happenings are occurring. On the other hand, if a lot has indeed happened, as it has for you, it makes for more unique memories, which may make it feel as though everything lasted longer. And obviously, that'd only be part of the whole, too :p<br /><br />I, on the other hand, feel that 2015 flew by incredibly quickly!<br /><br />Let's hope that 2016 turns out to be a nice year :)Shadow Dreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16059281133675679438noreply@blogger.com
