Why TIME Feels Faster As We AGE | Philosophy of Time

[@chadhudson4500]

Time is like a bathtub full of water. Pull the plug, and the tub begins to drain, but it seems like it's not draining very fast. But when it gets closer to the drain, the faster the water goes. We're all circling the drain, just at different speeds.

Time goes faster for me because I do what I want and what I like I go where I want when I want and I don’t depend on job or anybody. I been working on this all my life and now I got it at the age of 62. My current life is a paradise for me and I don’t want to end. I feel like time gos very fast because I want to live more and more to enjoy the consequences of my hard work since I was 14 years old. Now is my time and I’m loving it. This is the simple way to put it.

Time may feel faster as we grow older because there is ever more behind us. Gone forever. The more that is gone the more time seems to fly and you can measure it with the distance of memories, that when you're young, you cannot.

[@idx1941]

Lots of words and thoughts used to try and explain our time here on earth. And perhaps the more time we spend pondering it, the more time we waste. I don't think any of us actually think time is speeding up as we age, it's just we lack a better way to describe it. The reality is we come face to face with out own mortality! I'm 66 and l know my time is running out. There is very little sand remaining in my hourglass. When l was 10 that hourglass was nearly full of remaining sand. When l hit 20, it still looked pretty full. When l hit 40...well there is less sand but still plenty. The tip happens at 50, you realize that the sand is running out and you can't stop it. You see and feel the changes in your body. 50-70 is not going to feel anything like 20-40! You start to notice elderly people more and you clearly see the fate that awaits you, and in many ways it's terrifying. And then of course you see all the sand that is in the bottom of the hourglass and you lament at how you wasted and squandered it, and how little you valued it. And now that you see it's value, well there is nothing you can do...this is the reality older people face.

[@vivianriver6450]

As I have aged, I have contemplated this. I think of two perspectives on time: one of these being the ticking by of seconds, minutes, and hours in the present moment, and the other being the perspective on memories of the past. Being 41 now, I think that the ticking of seconds and minutes seems not that much different than it was in the past, but memories do seem "smaller" in the context of four decades of living. I can also say that I have experienced some unpleasant dissociative symptoms as an adult as a result of trauma, and this definitely makes time seem to pass faster sometimes. I agree with the video that being as present as possible in the moment does subjectively slow down time. Finally, I would say that if sitting and scrolling your phone for an hour makes you feel like the time just disappears and you don't feel like you're getting anything out of it, then don't do it.

When you were 10 years old, 1 year was 1/10th of your life. At 40, 1 year is 1/40th of your life, and so on and so on. No big surprise that time feels like it speeds up when you think of it that way.

[@samkitty5894]

Time feels like it goes by faster as you get older primarily because as you age, you experience fewer novel experiences, leading to less information being processed by your brain, which results in a perception of time speeding up; essentially, the more familiar your routine becomes, the less vivid your perception of time passing is. When I was a child I felt the time stood still. I couldn't wait to get older. Now, in my senior years days, weeks, months and years fly by. They all look the same...This is partially my fault. I need to get off my butt and do things, anything, especially something new I never did before. Tomorrow is not guaranteed to anyone. Live each and every day as if it is your last. Soon, it will be... Life, no matter how long, goes by in a blink of an eye. I speak strictly from personal experiences.

[@spadaissimo]

I read an article on this in Omni Magazine back in the 80’s. It opined that childhood is like driving across a desert or The Great Plains, your moving at 75/80mph but you have few reference points, time to get up, time for lunch, schools out, dinner, take a dump, go to sleep…the reference points increase, you start wearing a watch, you have classes in different rooms, you have tests, you move out get a job start receiving mail, gotta pay bills take kids to sporting events all the things you do have a time and place to get to, until your doing 80mph down a suburban one way street mail boxes, houses, manhole covers, kids a school zone buses…suddenly it feels like your moving a lot faster…so time in the mind is just like the body….pot bellied being fed and in diapers to living life paying taxes etc back to pot belly being fed and in diapers after being retired. It’s perception and the amount you squeeze into the same amount of time. The speed of time and the speed of light are the same and always constant. But perception and relativity change.

[@JodyBryant-n8j]

When you are 10 and one year passes it is 1/10th of your life . when you are 50 it’s 1/50th. When you are 70 it’s 1/70th. Your mind is a information processor and as you age time is less and less🙏

[@petebutler5139]

It doesn’t take a towering intellect to explain why time gets faster as we age. I have the answer or at least the answer that works for me… as children, we are learning and everything is new. We are making memories every day. Those memories allow us to retrace our steps to a point in time. However, as we age we develop routines and those routines do not allow for new memories. When you fall into a routine, day after day, month after month, just going through the motions, our memories begin to wane or subside, and milestones replace them. You can remember what you did for your birthday, Thanksgiving or Christmas, but the rest of the year is a blur and is why we believe times speeds up. If we would take time to create memories, we could hang on to this precious thing we call life, just a little bit longer.

To echo bergsons point about modernity and anxiety, I've noticed a disturbing phrase that has become ubiquitous in our culture. Not only in daily interactions do I hear it, but even more so on the internet. It's this expression "real quick." It punctuates almost everything.."Let me show you this real quick" "check this out real quick" "let me grab this real quick" "I'm gonna stop here real quick" "hit that like and subscribe button real quick"..even heard "lets pray real quick" at a church. What in the hell is this rush? Though not a traditional religious person the phrase just fits: "this pace is ungodly" Something is off. I now try to say, "I'm going to do this or that real calmly," just to counter this madness. Symptoms of a troubled collective consciousness, I'd argue. Good video.

Time passes by swiftly for me today (60+). When I was a kid (1960-1970), time passed by very slowly. In my forties, I asked my much younger nephews how they felt about time when they were pre-teenagers (circa 2000). They told me time was flying by too swiftly for them. They never experienced slow time as I and others once did. I have often wondered how people in living in the Kalahari Desert and other remote areas on the planet experience time then and now.

This video came across my feed and watching it really heightened my curiosity. I remembered back when I was in my thirties and I told my Mom I feel old. She then told me after I hit forties that is when time seems to fly by. The concept of time posed in this video and some comments of the video are very intriguing. For me I feel time doesn’t go as fast when you are young because you see a whole life ahead of you and look forward to experiencing it all like how you hear kids always say “I can’t wait until I grow up or I wish I’m older”. But as you grow older, you already experienced life and you view time limited. Perhaps, the concept of time fly by faster when you are older because the fear of death? Because I’ve seen elderly people whom don’t do much though out the days yet they commented time flies by as well so it is not wether you are enjoying doing things or not doing things with each day.

Maybe my philosophy of time at the age of 77 is indirectly related to Bergson's theory. It begins on what I look forward to, and what I don't look forward to. As a widower, I no longer look forward to busy events. Christmas, thanksgiving, birthdays, mine and others. So now these events come faster than i would like. By the way, I do feel younger than my age by being around my family and the grandchildren. But the time keeps getting faster by day. Getting older doesn't bother me at all, as long as is stay healthy. Of course a child's time is very slow because they can;t wait for a birthday, Christmas a planned holiday, school to end or a possible snow storm.

We have created a monster and now we cannot function without the timing of a clock.

Time here is not the same as other worlds. We measure time simply based on the motion of earth around the sun. Time is a God construct, for our convenience. But time does seem to go faster as one ages, for two reasons. 1. You realize you have less of it, 2. You get much busier in your 30s-40s-50s, and you watch the clock less.

Yes to me time definitely is perceived to move faster as one ages. My theory is that when we are younger we have fewer thoughts & experiences to occupy our minds. Older people have more developed thoughts, experiences & memories which occupies their consciousness thus making time seem to move faster. Almost like Bergeron’s theory of younger people having a blank mind making experiences more vivid & impression filled which would take up more time & space in a young persons mind thus elongating their thoughts. Just like when we watch a clock or are bored time seems to drag on, but when our minds are occupied & active time seems to fly. Thus the expression, “Time flies when you’re having fun!!!”🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪. A mind filled with thoughts & experiences has little islands to dance upon thus going faster…

[@Atwater20]

Too much thinking going into the reason why time seems to go faster the older we get. Its really simple, actually. The older we get, the less we have to look forward to. When we're a kid we can't wait to grow up. We want a bicycle, then a driver's license so we can drive and get a car. Then we want to be legal adults so we can be free to come and go as we please. Waiting for those things seems like it takes forever when we are children. In our twentie's we get our first serious job and learn about responsibility (most of us, anyway). Nearing thirty, we get married or move in with someone. At that point we've done all the major "growing up" things. Then time accelerates and seems to fly by, because there's no longer any major events that all adults go through. Sure, we all still have our own major events, but the ones we've been waiting for since we were children have passed. There's nothing else major to wait for, and time begins to fly.

I’m 70 and patiently wait for “my” time to end.Why is America dropping bombs on children in Gaza ? A child’s time taken away.

[@richardlawson6787]

Because they support hamas terrorist organizations.. perhaps they should refrain from starting wars they cant finish?

[@peterclark1041]

Why do Gaza folk accept a Govt that accepts enacting atrocities like Oct 7 / 23? It means there may be a reaction that is painful, nay, to some minds disproportionate?

[@robskyful]

@peterclark1041 I will repeat what Auden said "Those that have evil done to them do evil in return".As for America they are supplying the bombs, America is a bad country .

This goes right over my head. The only time that interests me is dinner time 😋

[@PhiloNauticaa]

I get that!

[@Leonchuckmoutsoulas]

I never mention time. Instead, I only know Distance. Distance traveled. That’s it. Eternal life is simple. It is life without time. And what is time…..simple..it is thought. Thought is always in what it labels as past and future. When your mind goes blank for no apparent reason, “What time is it?” Maybe that’s what Jesus meant by “eternal life.”

[@youngandrew66]

I think routine, work and realisation of death and eternity have more to do with the feeling of time speeding up.

[@JJmoony]

It’s the same speed it’s always been it’s just your thinking about the stuff that never happened when you were younger and you wish had and your saying to yourself oh no time running out the self illusion that time is getting faster you never payed attention to time when you were younger you didn’t care less now your realising your time was precious we’ll maybe don’t worry you’ll get another chance believe me in your next one

Brilliant!

Thank you

Remember how lonngggg Summer vacation was in grade school.

Wow. You just hit my nerve man!

Simple, more responsibility. A child doesnt even care about time. An adult has to.

About mechanical time*

[@charliebrown4799]

When you're 5 years old, it literally takes ALL year for Christmas to arrive. Im 36 now and Christmas comes every other month now. The reason is when youre only 5, thats your whole life so far. You've only experienced 5 years worth of life. So the 6th year will take ALMOST as long to arrive as the 5th year did when u were 4. Almost. But u wont notice the difference. When you've experienced 3 decades worth of life, what's 1 year? Nothing. You've already experienced 1 year of life, 30 times. 24 years from now, when I'm 60, I bet Christmas will start coming around every other week. Not every other month like i experience it now. And definitely not all year like it did when i was 5. Theres a word for this, 'time dilation', i think

[@PhiloNauticaa]

Interesting perspective!

[@LeLoupLickhear]

What is time but the ultimate currency. A currency of such we can't save, reaquire or get a refund on. One which we all spend continuously while wondering but never knowing how much we have left in the "bank". Perhaps as we age times rate may seem to increase, realizing, consciously or subconsciously,, the more we spend the less we have... the ol' Soap box' intro " like sands through the hour glass so our the days of our lives". As the level becomes less & less it appears to drain faster & faster... ..but on the other hand " to see a world in a grain of sand & a heaven in a wild flower. Hold infinity in the palm of your hand & eternity in an hour " ~ William Blake All a matter of ones perspective I guess... to me n e ways

Continuously moving and patiently unpacking paradigms One nickel at a time, piece by piece seeking peace and harmony in the nick of time when there is no time,.. in due time..🤍🕊️

[@chrisbird1663]

My teens and early 20s feel like they lasted forever and the last 30 years went in a flash. I’ve always wondered why. Still don’t know!😆

[@PhiloNauticaa]

You must have lived a busy life then. I'm in my 20s and it feels like it's moving too fast!

[@Alan-lv9rw]

I’m 62. Years are now months.

Time is the ordered change in the state of the universe. If you believe time does not exist then you believe nothing ever changes in any way?

[@ricklamb772]

Thats easy,when your young,you live every second of life to its fullest.Whenvyou get older,you just fall into a slump,sleep,eat sleep,eat,sleep next thing you know your dead.

[@johdewit9327]

A day to a mayfly is a lifetime but to a human, it's a duration of sun up and sundown, with many repetitions.

[@PhiloNauticaa]

[@ritmolatino1627]

whats the time?

[@mwizachavura8399]

U can't measure things objectively using your feelings, then we can't agree on anything

[@orpheus2112]

age 5 to 18 seemed like an eternity. 18 to 50 a flash

[@oatnoid]

When you are very young say 5 years old, a year is one fifth of your life. When you are very old say 75, a year is only 1/75th of your life. Of course time seems too fast.

[@hk2212]

First off, time is real - literally real. It is composed of particles, just like everything else that exists. For millennia no one realized that gravity consisted of waves and particles. My personal view is that time (i.e., time particles) is created by living entities. And as entities age they produce ever fewer of these particles - less time. This is why time goes faster as we age. And where do all these time particles go? They become dark matter.

2015-2025 went by faster than 2005-2015. 2005-2015 went by faster than 1995-2005 and so on. 😢

[@prabhakarv4193]

Very nice and informative

Thank you!

[@WikiPeoples]

I think life just becomes repetitive and without novel things there’s no landmarks to help us perceive distance between novel events (time)

[@PhiloNauticaa]

True that

There’s never enough time.

Going allot slower for me love the gentle pace at 66!

People seem to have a tendency to fill any unit of time just to make time "real."

It's a shame he didn't know Eastern philosophy (about consciousness, time, the nature of the mind, etc.) - he probably would have framed his thoughts even better

[@Iloveblue413]

[@alanhardaker6101]

Time doesn't exist. There is only reaction.A completely empty space won't change. Place something in that space and bring in a second force and you will see reaction. Return that space to a completely empty space and nothing will happen, in other words in that empty space, there is no time.

[@rr186650]

We are stuck in the present. Can't go into the future nor the past.
