As we age, the clock speeds up. Dramatically. In my 60s now, days clip by quickly, a month feels like a week used to, and a season feels like a month, a year like a season. When we were 15, our entire memories only spanned a little more than 10 years. I now have several decades of memories, which compresses my perception of the passage of time. It is a remarkable phenomenon

[@glennbrubaker3597]

When you are a year old, one year is your entire lifetime. When you are 10, a year is only 10% of your lifetime. Time appears to speed up when we age because the ratio of 1 year relative to your lifetime changes. 1 year is a smaller and smaller duration relative to our entire life.

[@terri6854]

I think that cliche of the perceived length of a year being based on the percentage of your life is faulty. For example, an inch doesn't "feel" shorter as we grow taller. An inch is always an inch. Why would the percentage it represents be connected to our feeling of the day going quickly? That would mean we subconsciously refer back to our birth every time we feel time passed quickly. That seems ludicrous.

[@Adrenaline416]

There needs to be some confirmation from physics on time acceleration, because everyone is observing it. When I was a kid, it took forever for Christmas to arrive; however my grandmother would say, "It's already Christmas again?? We just had Christmas!" Now at 52 I've observed time increasing in speed and I don't feel like it's a perception. It seems to be something like the longer you're alive, the faster time goes by. Summer break from school used to feel like a year. Going from age 10 to age 20 was a lifetime in itself, but age 40 to age 50 went by in less than half that time. Everyone I speak to about this is feeling or seeing the same thing.

"The only way to see it, is to build it." We built the famous Michelson Morley Experiment with downpipes on an old swivel chair with 9th graders - not working, but it lead to questions about interference patterns and how to detect changes in distance using mirrors and gratings. A scale like yours can hardly be done in schools, but you made it in a way pupils will not forget - ten minutes pure educational pleasure. To see the mountains in the end was really great!

[@Mister1bigidea]

⁠Thank you for taking the time to do this. I watched this and fell to tears, I knew the numbers but to see it visually displayed was a completely different feeling. It’s important to do videos like this, for many people, we get so overwhelmed with our daily circumstances and the grind of it all that we never take any chance to appreciate how fascinating and involved the process is for us to exist at this moment in time. Why have we overly complicated our lives that we make the whole world run to their deaths than to just slow down and appreciate the moments that we have been given. I do wish humanity moving forward gets to live a balanced life filled with constructive work, wonderful community , creativity and joy. I know for me, at this moment, I have to deal with the current situations of life, but for the future generations I want to be able to provide something more meaningful filled with a good balance of work and joy and companionship.

We still feel things we can't put words to. Seeing this video really made me feel that again. Seeing that strand of hair on that timeline was so poetic. That hair is the product of a process that's been going on since the beginning of time, so it's small and it kinda isn't. Each and every one of us is the culmination of millions of people and billions of years. The odds any of us exist are astronomically small. The deeper question I struggle with is how can we build a society that carries that fact, that reality inside it's heart for those who will follow and for those that are here? How can we live in a world that reveres the scale and significance of this process you beautifully visualized?

The 8 years of waiting is absolutely worth it. I love how this video has so many callbacks to the solar system one. The google image search, how you waved to the camera when loading luggages into the van, the font and axises, the motion tracking... Almost felt like a flashback. But at the same time, your technologies and editing skills have also progressed a lot after these years, so it didn’t feel outdated either. This video preserved the original concept, but also modernized it with modern technology. I've always been wondering if "to scale" was the best name of this channel. The moon video wasn't really related to "to scale", and the eclipse video was basically a mini version of the solar system video. So the solar system video was only video that actually had the "to scale" concept. I wondered if there are more topics that could be done in the concept of "to scale", I thought of the milky way, but that's not really creative when you’ve already made the solar system one. But, after I saw the title of this new video, I was like, it's so great. It's brilliant to visualize the concept of time. It fits the "to scale" concept so well, and it's also such a different aspect compared to the solar system. Space and time, both can be visualized to scale. Great work!!! I'm sure I'll be revisiting this video a million more times in the next few years, just like what I did after watching the solar system video for the first time.

One of the TRULY GREAT videos on KZbin; brings a tear to your eye at the end, and adds sobering context to mankind's place in the Universe. I used a similar graphic on the "the history of planet Earth" when I taught introductory geology; if we scale the ~4.5 billion years of Earth's history (since the impact that formed the Moon) as the distance from the west coast at Los Angeles all the way across the United States to the east coast at New York City (3,935 kilometers) then the average human lifespan is the width of a sidewalk curb relative to the Earth's lifetime.

When my older son was about 8 or 9 years old he said this to me: "dad, I know why numbers are infinite..." Why? I asked... and he said: "to be able to count our years when we'll be living with God in Eternity"!

[@urifischer9647]

That was one of the most beautiful videos I have ever seen. Thank you

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking And racing around to come up behind you again The sun is the same in a relative way... but you're older And shorter of breath, and one day closer to death

The fact is you could have done this on a computer in about 30minutes for free.

Maybe the physical process gave them a much more profound experience of the scale.

[@vinijoncrafts2882]

​@@iximusicI believe so

[@davebrown1100]

Yes they could, and mixed it in, but once we go full digital with everything then things like this wont hold any value and that's a very sad thought to have everyone inside, in screens, depending on AI.

I’m sure it was 10x more fun doing it live. That fact will probably pass you by your entire life.

[@etotheman1]

mainstream history is so cringe

[@Tachyon111]

EPIC WORK!!!! Thank you so much for making this video!!!!!!!!

[@oatinreallife]

Thank you for making these videos. I feel like I appreciate the small and big things in life even more

[@xanadu1215]

Oh yeah....I remember the big bang. Pretty awesome event. Wish I had popcorn.

[@marineris]

Maybe the one and only video everyone should have watched once in a lifetime.🙏❤

[@engelbertnovicio915]

In the sense of gaining perspective and inspiration in my own life, this is possibly the best 10 minutes I've ever spent. Thank you, To Scale:.

[@satukuiper]

This channel has played an essential part in my passion for exploring the unknown and daring to question and step out of my comfort zone. My teenage years will forever remain a memory sweetened by your videos, an inspiration for me to pursue stargazing and spreading the love and wonder for the universe to my wife and family. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. 🫶

It's incredible to think of how little time we've been around compared to how long it's been since the big bang. Our perception of time in general is pretty shocking, this video has put this in such a way where it's understandable but it's also not at the same time. Some of the most incredible 10 minutes of my life watching this video.

[@tyvekwallet]

Beautifully done! SO Powerful - thanks for this insight - incredibly valuable!

[@benpaul5330]

Incredible!!! Thank you for this! Sets my whole life into perspective.

[@TomCarp8]

Man, you made me cry. Life is a miracle and they happen once only so we can make sure to enjoy every single moment of it.

[@Ozcem2016]

This might be the one of the best video I have ever seen on KZbin. Hats off to the effort for making this beautiful content.

[@rcmakingtracks18]

Yes over whelming, yes incredible. Great job guys. Thanks for sharing. John

[@Sbenbobb9]

I'm happy to see you crying too. I take seizures in my sleep because of "stress", but being scared that my human hair of existence might be cut short doing help. What help is knowing that I'm still here to be happy and enjoy the little time I have. Thank to everything that came before me!

[@PeepshowHanky]

Thanks You; everbody involved in this video. One of the best ever.
