Proč utíká čas stále rychleji?

Podařená animace od Maximiliana Kienera o tom, jak vnímáme plynutí času: #

It’s because we perceive time relative to the ‘absolute’ time we can compare it to.

The more time you’ve lived, the shorter each year feels.

When you are 4 weeks old, a week is a quarter of your life. By the end of your first year, a week is just a fiftieth of your life. By the time you turn 50, a whole year will be a fiftieth of your life. Waiting 24 days for Christmas at age 5 feels like waiting a year at age 54.

This theory was first put forward by Paul Janet in 1897. He then was 21.

According to this theory, assuming you’ll become 100 years old, half of your perceived life is over at age 7. If you factor in that you don’t remember much of the first three years, then half your perceived life is over by the time you turn 18.
