Is Time Speeding Up?

[Maddox]

Beginning around Covid, I've noticed that time really seems to be speeding up. I've put off talking about this because I didn't know if it was just me or if there were others who felt the same. After recently finding videos of people talking about this exact subject, it's apparent I'm not alone.

There seems to be less time in a day to get things done. I maybe get one thing done in the morning and one thing in the afternoon, and then before I know it, it's dinnertime. Rinse and repeat. The days of the week seem to just melt into each other and months are now flying by.

One thing that really freaks me out is when someone pointed out that the "One One-Thousand, Two One-Thousand" way of counting to replicate seconds has also changed. Saying "One One-Thousand" in a normal cadence used to take you 1 second to say. So you could count that way to 10 and it would take 10 seconds.

Try it now. It comes out to 15 seconds. No joke.

Is this Biblical? Has somebody or some thing changed our perception of time? Who knows.

Here's another guy talking about the same thing.

Nothing strange at all here.
Perception of time naturally goes faster as you age.
When you are a child a week seems like an eternity, but by your 40s entire years just fly by.

Yeah, this is just called getting older.

Younger people speak much faster than older people.

Like the guy in the video said, that's not what this is about. Yes, I've noticed that the days seem shorter the older you get, but this is different. This shortening of time sensation first started for me around 2011 or so. But it was around Covid where I really felt like it went into another gear.

If it's just getting older, why are all these videos popping up now regarding this topic...and not just from old guys? Here's another guy saying the same thing, and even mentions his kids saying they've felt time speeding up. I never said that as a kid!

Maybe it has to do with the verses in Matthew 24 like he mentions. That is what I believe myself.

Some guys claim that we are having shorter trips around the sun, thus we seem younger than all those guys and gals in the photos from the 1960s and 1970s. Even if that were true, the differences in some of the photos look closer to 15 years (they showed those mustached 18 year olds and Elizabeth Taylor), which can't possibly be anywhere near a change in orbit, which might be days per year, which would be massive change in physics of the universe in just 50 years.

There could be something going on with the connectedness of the world, but I find it way more likely that we have later/delayed adolescence, less stress in certain ways, some people are much better with stress, sleep, eating and exercise than ever before, and it excludes the huge percentage of disgusting looking fat asses that are more than 50% of the population at this point, too. Time goes by fast because your life is a routine once you get to 40 and each day, week, month and year are now a smaller and smaller percentage of overall life. You also have done most things, or nearly all things you could do, including travel around the world - making most things similar and not novel - by the time you are 40-45 for sure.

Wow, great thread! I can’t believe the synchronicity of this because my wife and I were having dinner with my in-laws today and this was a topic of conversation my wife brought up. She has been feeling the same thing. And to the point that it’s not just older people saying this (my wife is mid-30s), she mentioned that our eight year old son said he felt the same thing. Even saying he wished he could go back and be a kid again.

So there seems to be something going on—I don’t ever recall thinking time flew by at eight years old. It was always the opposite for me, I couldn’t wrap my mind around how long a year was at that age.

 

[TheLoneReader]

Also, one point I forgot to mention, my wife felt this has started since COVID as well.

As you get older, you build more routine into your life, and with that, the perception of time speeds up.

This might have something to do with it:

Time's arrow: Particles cannot go back to the future

Geneva, 6 Novemebr 1998. We have all laughed at those fragments of film run backwards, where broken vases miraculously reassemble themselves, or sprinters reverse at full speed into their starting blocks. In the everyday world these things could never happen - time's arrow only points forwards...

OP, I've noticed this too and I was a young man back then (I don't have a strong theory about this but something weird happened following my gut).

The man in that video has lots of gray hairs in his beard...hence he's over 40

Also, youtube (((jewtube))) has a long histroy of pushing and monetising a certain topic when it suits the globalist overlords.
About 10 years ago they pushed thousands of flat earth videos, and so called "Mandela effect" videos very hard.
Now they are quite difficult to find.

I'm open to the idea that this may be actually a thing, but the claims of time increasing in speed, needs to be coming from a majority of people aged 5 to 30 to actually be something real, and not simply related to changing outside perceptions related to normal human ageing.

People in the past aged much faster because healthcare, dentistry, and nutrition was much less advanced.
Photos of 50 year olds from many decades years ago, look like 70 year olds today, etc.

You have more patience too. When you are a kid 10 minutes seems like forever, now I can easily sit still and do nothing for 10 minutes and it flies by

This is generally what I am saying, but population booms account for it too, because you can pick which class of people you want to see quite easily now - the disparity between people is huge in the modern day (tons of haves and far more have nots).

I had an uncle that got married in his early 40s. He looked like he was 65 at the time, I shit you not. He was born in the first half of the 20th century. Interestingly enough, he lived close to 90 years.
