\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There are various theories of temporal perception<\/a> and the differences between age groups. For children, time seems to move slowly while adults see each passing year go by exponentially quicker. This is generally a good thing since the once-in-a-lifetime magic of being a kid lasts longer while the potential pain of old age takes us to the end mercifully quicker. Naturally, those witnessing children grow up find that it goes by way too fast. They often wish they could see their baby or toddler again<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Time And The Human Mind<\/h1>\n

The explanations for this include the varying physiology of growing and aging adult brains. It’s our minds that perceive the movement of matter and energy over the four-dimensional spacetime plane as a flow of events into the future. If our minds were 4-D we would merely see time as another direction to move into. Then the fifth dimension would serve as our reference of time. Although each higher dimension of existence relies on individual consciousness to organize events into a logical order. In our physical reality, we need a time that is shared within a certain parameter for things to operate properly.\ud83e\udde0<\/span><\/p>\n

Each Year Becomes A Smaller Percentage Of Your Life<\/h1>\n

Some point to the fact that a year of time is a one-year-old child’s entire life while a 100-year-old person sees a year as only 1% of their life. This somehow prompts our consciousness to interpret time differently. Theoretically, if you compared a brain to a computer time should actually move in the opposite manner as we age. Our minds have less data when we’re young while those of old age have an exponential amount stored. In essence, the system should be bogged down and see time moving more slowly with age. Thankfully, biological brains don’t work that way. Especially since humans are capable of 300 years or a million gigabytes<\/a> of memory storage. Of course, a person’s thought process does slow down with advanced age as biological decay sets in. The creation of fewer neurons in old age<\/a> could also play a role in time whizzing by.<\/p>\n

The Most Likely Reason Time Flows Forth Faster Every Year<\/h1>\n

When you’re young everything is new and interesting. Even what seems like the most simple and mundane things are fun first-time experiences for young children. Each moment is worthy of attention and therefore the young brain is constantly recording new memories in great detail. On top of that, you have a child’s active imagination filling in reality as well. There’s an overload of information entering the brain! You will find your computer moving slowly when utilizing too many resources. Especially if you were downloading multiple large files at the same time. Perhaps this is the same with the biological brain.<\/p>\n

Time Speeds Up As Our Mind Records Less Of Our Surroundings<\/h1>\n

As we get older what was once new and exciting is now an everyday occurrence that just becomes background noise. For many the days often meld into each other with the same environment and tasks. The exponential imagination of childhood fades away leaving a void. We are absorbing fewer memories as so many things are familiar to us. By old age, we’ve seen virtually everything and it’s just old news. Our minds are recording less data so things appear to move faster. Ironically amid the decaying bodies and mental processes, other than temporal perception, that move slower.<\/p>\n

The Immortal Mind<\/h1>\n

For Immortals time moves ever more rapidly while they physically stay the same forever. At the maximum of their brain storage capacity, this levels off and the time flow remains the same interpreted speed for eternity. Clearly, if temporal perception perpetually sped up there would eventually be issues with environmental interaction in this reality. In the future of mass immortality and cyborgs, will computerized brain implants have any effect on the human perception of time? \u23f1\ufe0f<\/span><\/p>\n

The Perplexing Perception Of Time And The Fleeing Childhood<\/h1>\n

Childhood seems to last forever for kids while it goes by in a flash for parents.<\/p>\n
