Time does not fly. It just passes at a constant pace (bar some light-speed shenanigans), yet humans are biased.
Time is thought to be fast when the relevant events no longer exist,
e.g. at graduation or the end of the school year, some people say “time flies” even though
it’s not like it has accelerated… Rather, they have forgotten the
bad...
Might be the brain itself forgetting about the flow of time
itself!!
On the other hand, sometimes, it is perceived to be slow (e.g. when
you are currently in a sluggish situation); for example, I think school
is a total slog otherwise, even though it’s not that time has
decelerated.
Time also seems to slow down at times of danger.
However, this is not about the physical flow of time
itself, it’s nothing more than a constant pace by the
definition of standardized units; otherwise the world would be in
chaos…
