I'd say that subjective passage of time is more related to the amount of time you've lived.
When a year is 10% of your total lifetime, it seems a lot longer than when it's 2% of your lifetime.

- matthewdgreen 6y agoThere is research that shows that subjective passage of time depends on physiological changes to the brain. The most compelling example is that certain brain tumors make the passage of time seem extremely fast or slow to patients with them. The fact that time “seems to go faster” as you age is related to a normal aging related change (though natural, not caused by tumors.)
