Why Time Seems to Slow Down

Have you ever felt like time sped up when you were having fun? Or maybe time slowed down when you were looking at a memorable photo?

Scientists have discovered that our brains might actually make time seem to pass more slowly when we're looking at something we want to remember.

This is because our brains need more time to process the information in the image, so they slow down our perception of time.

So, next time you feel like time is flying by, take a moment to look around and appreciate the memorable moments that are happening.
