I wrote about time in this post.

Time is relative, relative to you. Often people talk about how fast time goes by, but if you remember being a child that was not the case.

Time goes by at a speed relative to your experience. A 3 year old, waiting for his next birthday would be almost equivalent to a 30 year old waiting to turn 40.

I say almost, because, while as a percentage of your life, it is accurate, it is not a percentage of your experience. A 3 year old has not experienced very much of life. Almost everything is still new.

On top of that, the more mature we get (hopefully) the more interest we take in others. This expands our experience even more. Have you ever heard a 3 year old ask someone how their marriage is going?

I believe, that in our experienced, the speed of time is not only not linear, but it is exponential.
