Abstract
Why does it feel that the time passes faster as we get older? What is the physical basis for the impression that some days are slower than others? Why do we tend to focus on the unusual (the surprise), not on the ever present? This article unveils the physics basis for these common observations. The reason is that the measurable ‘clock time’ is not the same as the time perceived by the human mind. The ‘mind time’ is a sequence of images, i.e. reflections of nature that are fed by stimuli from sensory organs. The rate at which changes in mental images are perceived decreases with age, because of several physical features that change with age: saccades frequency, body size, pathways degradation, etc. The misalignment between mental-image time and clock time serves to unite the voluminous observations of this phenomenon in the literature with the constructal law of evolution of flow architecture, as physics.

- lol768 8y agoThe site seems broken even with an institutional subscription, the "get access" button doesn't do anything. FWIW, throwing https://doi.org/10.1017/S1062798718000741 https://doi.org/10.1017/S1062798718000741 into sci-hub does the trick.

- stallmanite 8y agoI’m wonder why the convention hasn’t evolved to simply posting sci-hub links in the first place. There seems to be overwhelming sentiment that the paid-access journals are not helping the progress and dissemination of science. I would expect hackers to avail themselves of the technical means to “route around the damage” so to speak.
