Cool guy Maximilian Kiener has put together an interactive infographic describing why time seems to pass quicker as you get older.
Turns out back in the 19th century there was a guy named Paul Janet. Janet's big idea was that we perceive time relative to the “absolute†time we compare it to. In other words, the longer you’re alive, the smaller a year becomes in relation to your entire life as a whole. For example, when you’re five, a year is 20% of your entire life. When you’re 50, however, a year is only 2% of your life. You can click on the image above to check out the infographic.
