From B.S. Lamond
Horley, Surrey
My explanation for why time flies with old age (This Week, 23 November, p 14
and Letters, 4 January, p 45) is, that as a 10-year-old, one year is a tenth of
the total time experienced in your life, as a 20-year-old a twentieth and so on.
As you age, a year becomes a smaller percentage of your total time experience so
you perceive it as shorter.
