It’s not just you – time really does seem to pass faster for people as we age. But exactly why remains a mystery, though some of the theories for why life passes by so quickly are make a lot of sense.
# SYSK Episode Summary
This episode explores the fascinating science behind why time seems to fly faster as we get older. Josh and Chuck dive into several compelling theories, including how our biological internal clocks slow down with age, why new experiences make time feel longer while repetition speeds it up, and a mind-bending logarithmic explanation where a single year represents a much smaller percentage of your life the older you become. They break down research and studies that reveal the intersection of metabolism, dopamine levels, brain processing, and perception that all work together to create that unsettling feeling that the years are zooming by.
