Why Time Speeds Up as You Get Older

Where did the time go?

In this episode, Dr Shyam explores why so many of us feel like time is slipping by faster than ever. Days blur into weeks, weeks into years, but what is actually happening?

We often talk about time as something we’re “running out of,” yet time doesn’t exist in the way we usually think it does. We measure time, but from a physics perspective, time is relative, and there is no single, universal “now.”

So why does time feel fast sometimes and slow at others? What does this say about our minds, our memories, and the way we live our lives?

In this conversation, Dr Shyam explores how our perception of time is shaped by the mind and why it often seems to speed up as life gets busier.
