Does time progress faster as you get older?

As I get older, my sense of periphery has widened —and a year is a crude and simplistic wrap-around.

I agree with the OP, time definitely seems to accelerate with age. I wonder if this might explain why old people drive so slowly? Since speed=distance/time, someone with a greatly distorted sense of the flow of time would think he was going a lot faster than he actually was.

Actually, esoteric science based on introspection tells you that the perception of time is related to many things. Some of which is biological and some is mental. Time goes slower when you focus, and it goes faster when your attention wanders. There are monks who said that time stands still when their focus reached maximum. Many baseball players have claimed that there have been time when their focus was so intense that a 90+ mph fast ball went so slowly that they can even see the thread of the ball, and they have all the time in the world to decide what to do with the ball.

Time does seem to speed up when you get older, so I guess, subjectively, it's true..

 

No old bugger is going to touch me...learn that!

 

Do you have a disease of some sort that affects people?

There's a whole lot of people suffering tonight
From the disease of conceit.
Whole lot of people struggling tonight
From the disease of conceit.
Comes right down the highway,
Straight down the line,
Rips into your senses
Through your body and your mind.
Nothing about it that's sweet,
The disease of conceit.

There's a whole lot of hearts breaking tonight
From the disease of conceit,
Whole lot of hearts shaking tonight
From the disease of conceit.
Steps into your room,
Eats your soul,
Over your senses
You have no control.
Ain't nothing too discreet
About of disease of conceit.

There's a whole lot of people dying tonight
From the disease of conceit,
Whole lot of people crying tonight
From the disease of conceit,
Comes right out of nowhere
And you're down for the count
From the outside world,
The pressure will mount,
Turn you into a piece of meat,
The disease of conceit.

Conceit is a disease
That the doctors got no cure
They've done a lot of research on it
But what it is, they're still not sure

There's a whole lot of people in trouble tonight
From the disease of conceit,
Whole lot of people seeing double tonight
From the disease of conceit,
Give ya delusions of grandeur
And a evil eye
Give you idea that
You're too good to die,
Then they bury you from your head to your feet
From the disease of conceit.

Bob Dylan

 

Time is going by much faster than it used to.

When I was a kid I would complain about 'waiting', everything was so long in coming. An hour was forever. My Mother at some point, told me that when I got older, time would go by faster. I believed her.


I just didn't think it would happen this soon.

I hate to be the one to break it to you all, but it goes faster and faster. I remember my daughter - my firstborn - as a baby holding my finger and being fastinated with my nose. She's now thirty-one and my youngest kid is in the U. S. Army in Korea. The interim is a blur...
