Times goes faster as we age

The more information we need to process, the slower time passes. Conversely as we get older. Novel experience with lots of new information become less common. Life appears to sped up as we run on autopilot.

When asked to estimate when 2 mines had elapsed. The average 50-year-old had a 30 secs difference compared to a 30-year-old.

Do you agree ? Does time go faster as we get older (except when we go on hols)

Obviously, it doesn't go faster, but I would agree that it appears to.

I wish I was part of the test mentioned above. I microwave my coffee water for two minutes a couple of times per day and make it back to the microwave to retrieve the water within a second or two of the microwave beeping each time. :D

It does seem to go by faster as I age. More interesting to me: the definition of time. No consensus on it (IMO the answer 'entropy' fails).
