ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Time perception

Time perception is when you notice the passage of time. Everyone experiences time differently. Some people think time moves quickly, while others think it passes slowly. We all have our own internal 'clock' that helps us keep track of time. This clock can be affected by things like stress, boredom, and excitement. Age also plays a role in time perception because as we get older, time seems to pass more quickly.
