The acceleration principle

If time is exact, why does it sometimes seem to fly and at other times to slow to a crawl? The answer to this is obvious. Pleasurable activities whiz on by while the mundane drags.

Have you noticed that when you were a child time seemed to move at a slower pace? The summer days were endless. The evenings when you played, maybe even caught a firefly, were timeless.

At a certain age, probably around 40 you started to wonder where it all went. Where oh where have all the days gone? In each advancing year time appears to accelerate. You realize that before long you will be in the twilight of your years.

It is obvious that time is both objective and subjective. You measure the passing of time with a watch, clock or a calendar. In you own mind how you feel it and how you experience it can vary.

There is an explanation why you experience each succeeding year of your life as going by faster. When a child of five years old experiences a day it\’s one day in about 1825 days. When a man or woman of fifty experiences a day it\’s one day out of over 18,000 days.

As you can see the child\’s day is a much larger part of his total life. The adult\’s day is much smaller. The child experiences the day as lasting a lot longer than the adult does. It is obvious why you experience a day in your life at 50 years old as being much shorter than when you were 5 years old. You experience time subjectively.

Time is one of the a priori principles of human action. All your decisions have to factor in time. Since you measure it in hours, days, weeks, months and years
