Why Time Goes Faster As You Get Older

Im afraid of waking up at 70 and wondering where all my life went

Isn’t it weird how the internet was once a place to get away from the world, now the world is a place to get away from the internet.

My dad once took me to the museums in Chicago, just me and him. I was fascinated with ancient history so I pulled out my device and began to film every artifact, even focusing in on the plaques describing the more interesting ones. He asked me what I was doing and I told him I never want to forget any of this so I’m filming it. He laughed and said good job son. Was my favorite vacation ever. Just one thing though, my ‘device’ was simply my hands held in a rough square shape in front of my face. This was in the mid 80s. I called it my video recorder but of course we couldn’t afford one. 3 years ago I took my wife to see all the same things there(being very careful, it is Chicago) and I took so many pictures with my phone. Still wonderful experience and she loved it too. I can’t help but feel my late father was there with us in spirit. Thanks Pop!

As children, one tends to be in the moment, present. As one ages, they tend not to be present but be living in their heads, living in the past or worring about the future.

My grandma once told me “Life’s like unraveling a ball of yarn slow at first but speeds up the more you go”.

I get clowned on by my family for always "getting into new hobbies". Something always told me the purpose of life overall is to experience as much as we can while we're here. This video now affirms that belief.

Bro uploads on what everyone's mind currently thinks about

Man, seems like just yesterday I came here for “shower thoughts,” even though it was years ago….Time sure does move differently than it used to for me.

I’m 18 rn and getting emotional over this, I don’t want to have already experienced most of my memories, it’s not enough

As someone who is currently in the late teens age range, I guess it's about time to go out more to make some memorable memories

Was talking with my partner about this. We are in our mid 40s. So crazy how fast life is now.

My dad once said “life is like a roll of toilet paper, at first it goes by slow and you’ll think it will last forever, but the closer you get to the end, the quicker it goes.”

As a child, we had no comprehension of the importance of time or how limited it is. Once you comprehend the value of time, it starts to fly by

After 24 years life speeds up at 28 life is on speed running mode

I'm mostly just feel too tired to care what time it is

When I was little I thought my mother remembered every day of her life, because I did. I thought.

36, I already know everything you're saying as you say it 👍

I love the videos with my entire soul, thanks for teaching me so many things over the years :)

Im 32 this year and tbh yes I agree with most of the vid. However, a MAJOR catalyst of this was the pandemic. It’s stole like 3 years of all our lives, and nothing has been the same since, here in the UK, all the services that used to work half decent have never gone back to pre-pandemic levels, everything has been automated or halved in output, I have been trying to get a doctors appointment for MONTHS.. what used to be the norm to get an emergency appointment is now the the norm for a normal appointment.. it doesn’t work at all. That goes for almost all services. Along with the internet, what used to be an escape from the world has now flipped on its head and I use the world to escape from the internet.. I absolutely hate this corporate consumer driven internet mentality.. almost no services available have human interaction. Everybody hates each other now, more than ever before. The world has gone backwards.

This chanel answers questions that stuck in my head in last few years. First time it was done by video about urge to jump and now is this one

I have been thinking about exactly this topic recently. Thank you for making this

Tiktok scrolling really is one of the factors that makes time move fast as our brains are immersed... it's really taking year from our lives😢

Bro i remember finding your channel in my sophomore year in college when you were still small and remember thinking damn these are cool videos and each one to this day is so captivating and beautiful. It makes appreciate life like i really should. Im gonna get my ass out of my bed and go to the gym dude, i cant just watch this and continue being a lazy bum. I love u aperture.

This is so true, elementary for me was like a century

Idk it feels like time moves quite a bit faster since covid atlest for me.Idk maybe it’s the more great memory’s I had or most of us had or maybe we are all on copium about our childhood and times where we didn’t have responsibilities and could just hang out with friends and have best time ever, could be just nostalgia in different way…

Having psychadelic trips by myself was the strangest time felt. 2 hours could feel lioe more like thinking faster made time appear to go slower. Just like the flash superhero in movies

it's just math. if you're 1 year old, 1 month is 1/12 of your life. 10 years old, 1 month is 1/120 of your life. we perceive our total time alive so measured amounts of time are smaller slivers of the overall pie, and so they feel smaller, or faster.

TOP! Thanks.

I’m not old, but this was a very informative short! Keep up the good work.

Time perception is only as complicated as you make it. The paradox is that by simplifying your perceptions of the world around you, the time it takes to evaluate your surroundings passes more efficiently.

The days are long and the years are short. Time is slow, and time is fast

I want to live again and make the most of it!

My mind is still in 2019

5:43 i felt this really intense firsthand when i broke my arm when i was 12, i was riding home from a friends house for lunch and fell in a way that broke it. I was like 2-3 houses away from my own and it takes like 1 minute to walk home, yet that distance felt like a mile and walking home felt like it took an hour

"Youth and high spirits, time will take care of that" Elwood P Dowd in Harvey

I felt this time flying since I was in 10th grade. Now, I just accept this as part and parcel to this miserable (and wonderful) existence.

Your best days are ahead of you take action.

Aperture, while I listen to this video, it triggered my very first time going to airport taking a jet plane from Sacramento, CA. to Ohio it was both exciting yet scary. But now it was like great experiences now in my middle 60's of age that how I recall that event it was one week trip. But it was learning experience I was at that time age 24. That was so long ago. Thanks for your unique videos.

thanks

I don't look back with nostalgia at all but it does suck how fast it goes by. Every day that passes the faster it goes, until you get to the point one whole year feels like barely one month. Holy shite! What an uplifting, galvanizing thought!

Worthy of an Aperture Video ⭐⭐⭐

I lived in another country for a while. I didn't speak the language well and I was constantly engaged because I couldn't afford to be on autopilot with new people places and things. I realized that being in the moment is what makes time full, meaning, not squandered but really experienced. Don't live mundane days without new experiences and stay in it. Then, time doesn't just poof, vanish unfairly.

Journaling is the single best thing you can do. Try to at least write something at the end of every week/month/year and you will be so thankful to yourself later.

Exploring the realms of storytelling and creative videos, and VideoGPT subtly stepped in, effortlessly refining my content with its professional touch.

Your videos sir are nothung but brilliant and full of information that is coherent. Apart from that is very enlightening. I have felt that my younger years were just part of a world where there is only black and white aka right or wrong. And you sir have opene up my eyes to all that shades of gray there to this world. I stand take my hat off applaud you. Thank you for all you do with this video and most important share it with us.

I never really stressed about anything until i learned what stress was. Kinda funny how that works

I've wondered if it has something to do with the development of our brains, personalities and bodies. When time felt the slowest, in youth, we in a state of constant growth and change, improvement if you will. There were a lot of new experiences as well, pleasant and unpleasant, which also left a mark in our minds. Both as we reached adult stage after our brains and bodies had stopped growing and attained their peak form, and life perhaps, for some, became more mundane and routine, our perception of time changed accordingly. Maybe the trick then is to force ourselves to keep learning, or to try new experiences.

Welcome Back

Just had a conversation with my friends about this last night over dinner. Ha!

I think it’s cause when we’re younger we look forward to getting older then we can do more things. Once you’re older you drink alcohol or indulge in substances to feel mentally young again or feel nothing at all.. Making events more fun etc.

is this same about money too in 1st it took time to compound money to some threshold and after certain balance it's start to grow faster or in higher value 🤔

It's sad and happy at the same time

The older I get, the faster I want to leave this world.

Yup

Internal perspective of the world accelerates the older we get, like if individually we each approach our own event horizon.

The more time you have experienced the quicker it goes, it’s weird.

Stuck in job I hate a life I don’t want but I have learnt to accept things time is moving fast wish it can move abit faster

It feels like when I was a child I had so many things I did and wanted to do but not enough time or $. Now I have so much time and $ but not much to do. Just work , work out, and take yearly vacations.

I dont remember high-school I block that shit out

I did not appreciate just how integrated that sponsor ad was. 🤨

Yes🎉

Crazy to think that every single person I’ve ever reacted with saw on the internet will be dead in just 100 years

I need to sleep now but your video spoiled it

Another aspect to it is everything looked twice as large. From your small child perspective, being half the size of an adult, it makes sense everything would feel twice as big and distances twice as long.

I guess this explains why when I am traveling to some where new, it takes longer. But when I am returning it's faster. Has anyone experienced the same thing?

Honestly I really don’t care how much faster the days get from aging. Yeah I’m like 40 and yes it’s fast but I don’t care cause I enjoy life.

The other night with my girlfriend, I felt like I lasted an hour, but she said that it was only 20 seconds.

the thumbnail kills me😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😂

Personally I think there is a correlation between our perception of time and our stages of growth. The cells in our body regenerate and rejuvenate quickly during our growth cycle until we are around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, and after we are fully grown adults our cells do not do this as effectively and efficiently as they did when we were younger. When we have fully completed our growth cycle all of our cells and our bodies are slowly decaying and dying.

It’s the little things in life this kinda reminds me of soul the movie

Don’t agree. Time is objectively accelerating. Ask older people (60+) if they still felt like time was moving leisurely while they were in their 20s-30s, and they will say they still had plenty of time relatively to the last 10-15 years, ask 20-30 year olds now if they still feel like they have time, they will say none at all. It doesn’t matter the age, even children and teenagers nowadays say they feel time is going by incredibly fast. It’s likely to continue accelerating until no one can deny it anymore, not even scientists and physicists.

We know how long the day will be as we are experiencing it so our brains lock everything into a schedule

Time is the only resource. And yet, every circle begins with its end. 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨ "Before I start, I must see my end. Destination known, my mind's journey now begins. Upon my chariot, heart and soul's fate revealed. In time, all points converge, hope's strength resteeled. But to earn final peace at the universe's endless refrain, we must see all in nothingness... before we start again." 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨ --Diamond Dragons (Armageddon's Ballad)

ur spending ur time living a repeating life my guy

It is frightening to think that everything we experience could be a five-minute memory before long.

😢

Sad but happy button---'

I'm 40, I wish I saw this as an 18 year old - my life would have turned out so different.I wish more teens can see this, I wish more people see this...

Or perhaps you realise time is running out. To infinity, and beyond!

The Power Of Now!

It doesn't that is an illusion.

Simple: in the start one year is one fifth of the person's life. At age 60 one year is 1/12th of the person's life.

The one thing we all have in common is that we're all on our way to die. Make the best of life however you can, for however long you can.

Here before before a million ☺️

Time does not go faster. Our memory is just compressed. When i was 10, a past year was a 10th of my life. Now it's just a 49th. Btw. Time doesn't move at all. We move along time and measure the distance we moved with clocks.😊

Time goes faster when you get older because eventually you realize that you're literally running out of time. By the time youre 40 on average you only have around 20 years of life left.

Hey Aperture :) would you ever consider creating a video with me?

I turned 40 and been stuck in a kind of midlife crisis because itvfeels like the days just blow by

I get it now: children don't understand the concept of time, but adults are all too aware of it. That's why times passes slowly for children but goes faster for adults.

Just do planks to slow down time.
