Why Does TIME Speed Up As You Age?
When you’re a kid, summers feel endless. A school year is a lifetime. But as you get older, months vanish, birthdays arrive too fast, and whole years feel like they collapse into a blur.
This video is AI-generated (synthetic voice and visuals). It is an original, fictional lecture inspired by Richard Feynman’s teaching style and public ideas, and is not an authentic recording, endorsement, or statement by Richard Feynman or his estate. Any resemblance is for educational/creative purposes.
It’s not just “being busy.” And it’s not just nostalgia.
In this video, we explore a Feynman-style way of thinking about the problem: what time is in physics versus what time feels like in the mind — and why your brain can make the same 24 hours feel completely different depending on how it’s measured, remembered, and stored.
You’ll discover:
Why your brain doesn’t measure time like a clock
How novelty and “new information” stretch your sense of time
Why routines compress years into fewer distinct memories
The hidden role of attention, prediction, and perception
The disturbing punchline: time didn’t speed up… your memory of it did
By the end, you’ll understand why childhood feels long, adulthood feels fast, and why the only real way to “slow time down” isn’t adding hours — it’s changing what your mind records.
