is time speeding up?

This year has gone in a flash. Is it just getting older?

Things that I did a year ago feels like I did them last week.

It is getting faster for sure

Well time speeds up relatively as you get older. A year for a 5 year old is 20% of his life and a year for a 40 year old is 2.5% of his life ( Don't know how old the OP is )

Have you recently started living on a smaller planetary body than the Earth? Perhaps you have spent significant time in zero mavity? If so, then yes.

Time is not speeding up. What is happening is you are making fewer memories as you're most likely stuck in a same old daily routine, so all your memories of what you are doing just get squashed into one.

Start doing different things, new hobbies, meeting new people, etc. Suddenly time will go slowly again as you'll remember more individual things like you did as a kid.

That's not how it works.

So I have made some sense lol

Sounds like an excuse for people with boring mundane lives to not get up and do different things to 'slow down' this apparent progress of time.

Exactly right

Man, you need to relax and take it easy...

You're just getting slower.

You measure time by changes and events. Like driving down a long straight road with no markers, if there's nothing new and no turnings to take, you wont notice how fast you are going.

When you're a child you are trying new things all the time, learning new things all the time. And consequently you notice every day. Your brain is changing, growing and that takes time.

Many adults stop learning, stop doing new things - and then they find a year has gone by in the blink of an eye.

Humans cannot see time any more than they can see mavity. We notice it only by how it moves things. Add new things to your life and new learning to your mind, or your life will be over before you know it.

Then where does all the sand come from?

(Perhaps from the same place apostrophes go?)

Time is an illusion.

Lunchtime doubly so.
