Life-Time
If we consider our own experience of time throughout the course of our lives, most people will recognize a sense that time passes more and more quickly the longer we are alive. I can say definitively that my temporal experience of driving to the grocery store when I was about four (a ten minute drive in space-time terms) was perceptually equivalent to about 1 (spacetime) hour of driving when I was twenty four. Why is this? The most convincing explanation seems to be a proportional account of time whereby it is measured not as an accumulation of segments, but proportionally, in relation to a whole, defined by time lived. In other words, we have always lived a total of 1 (1 life). Therefore, any space-time measurements should be taken as segments proportional to that one life. If I have lived 2 years, 1 year = ½ of a lifetime. If I have lived 10 years, 1 year = 1/10 of a lifetime. If I’ve lived 30 years (as I now have) 1 year = 1/30th of a lifetime. Similarly, when I’m four, 10 minutes is 1/52596th of my lifetime. When I’m twenty four, one hour is 1/52596th of my lifetime.
