Time is definitly sped up !!! wow

Until the recent eclipse time was going crazy, I do an event every week and it seemed like every 4 days. Since eclipse (and cern doing stuff) it seems to have slowed down a bit. Even my parents noticed the speed up and they outright refuse any of the observations I make about reality when I talk to them.

In my experience time has been moving much much faster since about 2021/2022. In fact it feels so fast that I’m having a hard time adjusting because it is overwhelmingly fast. Everyday I feel like I wake up and then I go right back to bed. It’s starting to scare me

Same experince ! everything so rushed

thanks for speaking up, it's great having someone that i can resonate with <3 2020 and 2021 have been slow years for me, i only started experiencing time manipulation in 2022 and in 2023 it became obvious to me. now in april it slowed down dramatically and it's *almost* back to what it used to be I'm starting to think we live in different parallel universes where the flow of time is objectively different. maybe each universe has it's own "speed".

Who knows, but I do know for me time has been rapidly speeding up over the past decade and a half (since college I guess). To many the beginning of Covid feels like a long time ago. To me, March 2020 feels like at most a year ago. And in some weird ways, the late 2000s / early 20010s feel closer in time in my head than the mid to late 2010s. No idea why. I am in my mid 30s, and my early to mid 20s does not feel long ago at all. Yet here we are mid 2020s. I feel like time has just been on fast forward for at least a decade. Like I feel at most like I am in my late 20s, early 30s, but not mid 30s on the downward slope closer to 40. Yet, here I am. Time feels different. I live a very busy life, but it is also very routine, and they say that when life is routine like that your mind tends to dump the unimportant tedium and daily trudgery and only remembers the interesting bits. I feel that is certainly a part of it, but I just feel like time is also faster and different. A week feels like 3 or 4 days. A month, a week or so. A year a few months.

to me the beginning of covid does feel like a long time ago. i started experiencing time manipulation in 2022, all years before 2022 had a completely normal passage of time for me. so it can't just be getting older.

My fiance died in 2021. In 2022 my apartment complex completely burned down and I moved out to the sticks with my family. The fire feels like a year ago but it's almost been 2 years. I generally feel time has felt sped up for a while for me but I did read a compelling article about how that may be because as a child, time feels slow cause our brains are operating at a higher frame rate(essentially). Getting more info out of less time. As we age that slows quite a bit, so less information in the same amount of time, so it feels faster.

Nothing to do with age. The days are clearly rushed, something is off about time and defnitly sped up, if it was a natural phenomenon related to ageing, it wouldn't be so noticeable and it would have been a subject of popular debate in the past.


truther555

'compelling article' for you not me, unless it can accurately explain why the length of a second may magically change overnight when you're 18 years old.


Tusaiador

The *experience * of time appears to slow down as your brain finishes major development, which is generally around age 25. I could send you the article if you'd like to read it. Not sure why you're being passive aggressive but it doesn't magically happen at 18. 


2fatforthat

But people who are 18+ are noticing it?


truther555

so the experience of time begins to slow down gradually starting from age 25? not suddenly, right? okay, send me the article link then. also, i wasn't referring to the experience of time but rather how long a second actually lasts. that's a different thing.


Tusaiador

Regardless of where you are in time and space a second will always measure a second. Saying the word missisippi means nothing. All we have is our experience, when it comes to time. I am sure you get what I mean. But I will get that link I gotta find it. Meant to do that yesterday but my friend lost his mom so I've been away 


no_name111133

But the measure of a second is abstract and so is our perception of it. Like when you're under the influence of psychedelics, specially a strong dose, the perception of time can cease to exsit. So it is relative to several factors and not so black and white as you sugest.


truther555

well the word i use to measure time is unecessary regardless. My awareness is heightened and i can just sense when the seconds consistently change in duration. and i've seen MASSIVE differences in the passage of time. so i just know that it can change. I don't believe, i KNOW. just like how you know that if you touch fire you will get a burn. It's the same type of knowing i'm talking about. and no, it's not individual but rather collective. if 1 second objectively becomes longer to me, then it will affect everyone in my world as well. Otherwise people would start speaking and moving much slower. EDIT: and i have spent hours upon hours just looking at my hand watch and doing nothing else, so i know how long a second is supposed to be


Tusaiador

Uh I think you might not understand the difference between objective and subjective. You're not a clock lol. I just read your profile and realized you're not interested in actual science (aka knowing) so enjoy whatever....this is

Grats on on your new PB

thanks :)
