  • does time feel faster as you age?

  • One theory from a neurological perspective is that every single time you have a new experience, your brain is firing and using and creating more neurons so that it can record as much detail as possible.

  • Think about a hike when you first are walking on a hike, it always feels like it is taking longer.

  • Then when you turn around and walk back the way you came.

  • That's because when you're walking back it is no longer novel and therefore it goes by faster.

  • And as you age, you have fewer truly new experiences.

  • And this lack of stimulation has been shown to speed up your perception of time.

  • Speaking of new experiences, we're about to have a wild one because for Earth Day 2022 Youtube is sending us on a mystery trip so we can appreciate the beauty of earth and we get to share it with you.

  • And it's all part of their non fungible planet campaign, which is celebrating this one of a kind planet we call home, but we literally don't know where they're sending us yet.

  • So you can help us guess could it be the Rocky Mountains?
