Well, all things being equal - time is not one of those things!
When we were kids time went by so slowly as to drive us mad! Now, as we have aged a bit, it flies away from us and into our past... without so much a care!
What's wrong with that! Why is that so?
One theory is that our perception is based on our age and how much of life we experience.
When we are 5, 1/5th our life ( 1 year ) IS a long time in relation to our TIME as a conscious being... conscious being, another relative term..
When we are 40 , 1/40th is a small fraction of actual TIME spent as a conscious person. Thus our perception is much smaller or a quicker fraction of our experiences and is internalized as a smaller portion of time.
Think of it in terms of the fractional pizza from school.
Cut it into 5 pieces, it takes a long time to eat each piece.
Cut it into 40 pieces, however smaller, will take a longer time to eat.. you have to pause more often to reach into get a piece. Each piece shoved into your mouth will be more quickly eaten , faster time... thus each year will pass more quickly!
Ta, Daaaah...
If you get that... Whooo - Hoo!
