It appears to me that as time passes by that the previous time period of the same length appears to have been greater than the current or most recent time period. This experience becomes normalised as you experience more and more years until they appear to be mostly the same length, but passing quickly because they’re just a small small fraction of your overall life span so far. The above graph shows the rate of change when you’re very young is very high this tails off as you pass about 10 years old where there would appear to be a 1:1 ratio of years of age to life span. The percentage quickly reaches low numbers of 5% at age 20 and so the next 80 years as spend gradually reducing that number to 1% at age 100. The above graph is the same data, but presented on a base 2 […]
We did a trip to Salisbury Plain in the Land Rovers partly for my up coming 40th year… I’m getting old at the same rate as always, just that this last year was only a 2.5% of my entire life. Hence it seemed to go past faster than the previous year which was 2.56%, when compared to my 20th year which was 5% of my entire life so far. The trip was great, we spent plenty of time on the green lanes or byways. Just need to clean the land rover now, as it’s very dusty and has got some mud in the arches. This was a series of photos taken as I climbed this little hill. quite fun. Fire starting like a professional. It was very very dry on the plain and so the dust was horrendous.
