<p>When people in childhood, it seems that summer holidays last forever and the length of time between one celebration of the New year and others just like infinity. However, as we get older, it begins to seem that weeks, or even months, and even entire seasons disappear from the calendar at breakneck speed. How did it happen? Change the perception - or is life really getting faster?</p>
<h1>The answer to the mysterious question</h1>
<p>Almost all people say that time really begins to move faster with age. But it is not that adult life is filled with many important tasks and problems. Studies have shown that the case in the psychological perception of time, which seems to be more older people differently.</p>

<p>It therefore seems that life is becoming more stressful and fast. There are several different theories that attempt to explain why the perception of time changes with age.</p>
<p>http://img.fb.ru/i/5/7/3/9/0/i/57390_700x394.jpg</p>
<h1>The first theory</h1>
<p>According to one view, time begins to move faster with age due to the gradual changes in the internal biological clock. When a person ages, his metabolism slows down gradually, and with it decreases and the speed of the heartbeat, slowing down and breathing. The child has quite different biological clocks that move faster. They experience more biological markers of the time - breaths, heartbeats, for the same period of time that causes them to feel the interval as longer.</p>

<h1>The second theory</h1>
<p>There is another view. According to this theory, the speed at which we perceive the length of time associated with the amount of new information we receive. When the brain receives a large number of new stimuli on the processing of information takes more time in result it seems that the days are getting longer. In addition, this theory is consistent with the situations before the disaster, when people describe that the time seemed to move in slow motion. Frightening and unusual circumstances gave the brain so much information, time simply froze.</p>

<h2><em><strong>Experimental confirmation of the theory</strong></em></h2>
<blockquote>The second theory can be confirmed by the fact that, when faced with an unusual situation, the brain is forced to record more extensive and detailed information. As a result, in our memories seems to be happening longer than it really was. This theory is confirmed experimentally. The subjects experienced the feeling of free fall, in which their perception of time really changed is the reaction of the organism to unusual conditions. But what is the connection of this explanation with the fact that we otherwise see time aging?</blockquote>

<h1>The development assumptions</h1>
<p>The fact is that with age, we better study environment. She becomes quite familiar, and the attention no longer focuses on every detail of the home environment or workplace. For a child the world is a Playground full of new impressions and new experiences. As a result he has to spend more mental energy in order to recycle the impressions of the world around him.</p>

<p>According to this theory, children's experiences slow down time, and routine of adult life, on the contrary, makes it more fleeting. The more we get used to features of our daily life, the faster it goes. In addition, this theory is confirmed by biochemical mechanisms. There is an assumption that the level of dopamine helps us determine the length of time. After twenty years, the amount of dopamine in the body gradually reduced, with the result that time begins to move faster. However, this does not explain the reasons for what time really is accelerating – in the mathematical sense. Reduction in the duration of a fixed period of time with age can be explained logarithmically. A logarithmic measurement used to measure earthquakes – requires larger scale than linear. This is true for a time.</p>

<h1>The logarithmic approach</h1>
<p>Logarithmic measure pushing for the idea that perception of time is due to the fact, how much time it has already lived up to this period. The result is that for the two year old a year is half a life lived. Not surprisingly, this period of time seems so long. Therefore, in childhood, each birthday you have to wait for months. However, in ten years the year – only ten percent of my life. For twenty-year five per cent. To feel the same time as a two year old living in the year twenty have to wait for a decade. If you use this approach no longer seems surprising that with age time speeds up.</p>

<p>Most adults think of their lives in the scale of decades, which implies the same attitude to equal period of time. However, when the logarithmic approach, each period of time is perceived differently. According to this theory, the time from five to ten years equal to the time from ten to twenty, from twenty to forty, from forty to eighty. Sounds pretty depressing, if you think about it, five years of childhood are equal to forty years of adult life! In short, learn to appreciate their time. It moves faster and faster every day, even if you don't believe in the theory that explains this phenomenon.
