Time isn’t going anywhere, fast or slow…it’s just a subjective illusion. We imagine one set of things that “have happened”, and we call it the past; we imagine another set of things that “haven’t happened yet”, and we call it the future; and we make up the notion that we’re moving from one into the other..But it’s all in our heads, which is why it sometimes seems to be moving quickly, and other times slowly — the movement itself is a fantasy. The reality is that we’re always in a dimensionless point called “now”. The scenery seems to change as we turn our attention to one thing or another, that’s all..You all can discuss that while I get more coffee.
Uh-huh…Scaaaty, try telling that to the finance company when your payment is overdue. I’m sure they’ll be thrilled to hear that it’s a subjective illusion.
I am convinced that time becomes compressed as we age? Sunday to Saturday, month to momth, do seem to pass faster.I know it’s a mental perception, but it is pretty convincing. I say this as an 80 year old.
