  Speaker 1: Why is it as we get older, time goes by faster?
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: I've heard of different analogies and reasons why, but I
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: haven't heard this one apparently, Christine.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, scientists are trying to explain it like this. At
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: age 10, one year of life represents 10% of everything
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: you've ever experienced. By age 50, that same year represents
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: just 2% of your life experience. So each new year
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: of life decreases as a fraction of the whole.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: There's math involved, man.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: There's math involved.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: But so basically, when you're 10 years old, you've only
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: done 10 years once. Mm-hmm.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: When you're 20 years old.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: So it'll seem longer.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: You've done it twice.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Am I making sense?
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: I think you're getting it, yeah.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: When I'm 30, I've done it three times.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm. Now by 50, you're like, all right, I've done
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: this decade thing five times.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: I'm getting in the habit. I'm getting in the flow.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Age 50, that same year represents just 2% of your
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: life experience. So yeah. So it's moving fast.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: Moving fast. I don't like it at all. No.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Because I remember as a kid, so today's September 21st.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: If I was 10 years old, I remember going, you know,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: I want this for Christmas.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: But it's so far away. Yes.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: And mom would say, no, it's not that far away.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I'm like, no, it's September 21st. Christmas is a long
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: way away.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: It would feel like it was forever away. Sure.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: Now as an adult, it's going to be here tomorrow
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: pretty much.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: It's just I want to hit the brakes sometimes.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: It's exactly going to be here tomorrow. Yes.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: All right. Hit us up.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: 44363. We're on text. What is your personal belief on
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: why time flies? Is it part of that whole equation
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: that you just mentioned?
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: It's a pretty good one. It's a pretty good theory.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Interesting, right? What do you have coming up in the news?
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Let's check out the headlines and scientists have discovered something
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: new on the moon.
