Time Series Part 4: Is our Time Running Out?

As we get older time appears to go by faster.  This may be because we experience less novelty each day and therefore record fewer new frames of memory to 'replay' in recollection.  It may also be because our brain processing is slower because it is far more complex than for younger people, and because  our neural architecture degrades over time.   Also it makes a big difference if we are paying attention to time duration in-the-moment or retrospectively.  If the present is interesting, novel or significant, time tends to fly by in the moment, but retrospectively we experience it as being of longer duration.
