It has been proven that time is relative, as it can depend on the observer rather than being a constant for everyone.

Furthermore, as we get older, certain human processes can make time seem like it is passing by more quickly. The theory states that, over time, we process visual information at a slower rate, making time speed up as we grow older. If we focus on visual perception, slower processing times lead to perceiving fewer images per second, which means that more actual time passes between the perception of each new mental frame.

When we’re younger, each second is full of many more mental images, just like a slow-motion camera, which can get thousands of frames per second, making time seem to go by more slowly.
