time

Does anybody know why time flies so quickly?

I wake up in the morning, do some usual stuff and it's evening suddenly...

It has been actually proven that time is a form of temporal illusion. An experiment called the kappa effect proved that the human perception of time between visual elements is perceived relatively shorter or longer. Different people may experience the same period of time to be passing at different speeds. What's more, time appears to pass more quickly as we get older. For example, 1 hour to a 1-year-old baby would pass slower than to a 40-year-old person, even though the measure of time is exactly the same. Isn't that strange?

I have also noticed lately that the less you have to do, the quicker time goes by...

I wish I could catch a bit of time and stop it for a while...
