Why Time Speeds Up As You Age (And The 3 Things That Slow It Down)

Why Time Speeds Up As You Age (And The 3 Things That Slow It Down)

Published 4 months, 2 weeks ago
Description

Most longevity conversations focus on two things: living longer (lifespan) and living healthier (healthspan). But there's a third pillar almost nobody talks about. 

In this video, cardiovascular surgeon Dr. Jeremy London introduces timespan, the science of how you experience the time you have. Why does a year at 50 feel shorter than a summer at 7? Why do we reach our deathbeds feeling like we "just blinked"? And what can we actually do about it?

In this episode, Dr. London breaks down:

  • The Proportional Theory of Time, the mathematical reason why time speeds up as you age (and why you've already lived half your "felt" life by 17 or 18)

  • The neuroscience of episodic memory, how your brain decides what gets recorded in 4K vs. what gets skipped

  • The Reminiscence Bump: Why ages 15–25 feel richest in memory, and how to recreate that density

  • 3 levers to reclaim your time perception: Flow, Presence, and Purpose
