I don't understand. If I feel like two minutes passed when only one has passed, am I not actually experiencing time as twice as slow?
I thought two minutes have passed, yet I have a whole other minute to live. I thought time passed quickly, but I get to experience twice as much time. By that logic, we think we're 80 when we're 40, and we have another subjective 80 years to live.
How is that "time flies by"? Time would fly by if it went by so slowly for me that ten hours had passed when I thought it had only been a minute.
That’s exactly how I thought about it.
If you imagine a hypothetical person with a 2 year lifespan. During the first year the perceive time 1:1. But during the 2nd year they perceive 9 years passing during 1 year.
At 50% of their lifespan they will have 90% of their total perceived experience of time remaining.
I see what you mean, thanks. I'm not sure I entirely agree that life goes by more slowly, but at least they'd perceive enjoyable things as taking nine times longer.
