brainlet here, I have a neurology-related question:
Why do you "feel" time in a different way when you get older, and is there a way to go back to that childlike intuition?
We know our perception of time changes when we get older, you feel like time moves faster and your brain cannot appreciate things the way you used to when you were a child, I'm not talking exactly about neuroplasticity although, of course, both things are probably related
I know it may sound too poetic for a science board but I want to be able to see the world the way I used to when I was a child.
I know as an adult you have more long-term goals and you don't focus that much on the present, but besides that, I think there is some biological explanation as to why the world and time "feel" different when you get older

any good papers or opinions on the subject?
