Time asked time: where are you going?

SAPO Notícias2 September 2026 at 00:18

The article describes a conversation that took place during the month of August about the perception of the passage of time throughout human life. The title of the text, "Time asked time: where are you going?", suggests a philosophical reflection on the theme.

In the conversation, the participants explored how the perception of the passage of time changes as we age. It is mentioned that a year in childhood seemed to last much longer than a year in adult life.

The author of the article indicates that this feeling that time passes more quickly with age is something that all of us feel in some way, suggesting that it is a universal experience.

Furthermore, the participants in the conversation raised an additional question: whether the perception of the passage of time would be the same for a child from 30 or 40 years ago, thus raising the possibility that historical or technological factors may also influence our temporal perception.
