Passage of time

[J. Tallman]

Pam, I once saw a show on TV that set forth the theory that the perceived passage of time is related to the subject's rate of metabolism. Kids have a high rate of metabolism, and time seems to creep for them. As we grow older, our metabolism slows down, and time seems to accelerate accordingly. Interesting concept to be sure...
