It's not. Time is an imaginary measurement created by man to help themselves conduct regularity. The measurement of 1 second based upon the duration of 9,192,631,770 cycles of the radiation which corresponds to the transition between two energy levels of the ground state of the cesium-133 atom. This is an exact measurement that will never slow or speed, however coming to the decision that 1 second = 9,192,631,770 cycles is completely arbitrary, and they could have just as easily defined a second as 10,000,000,000 cycles but they landed on that measurement for whatever reasons, and with that standard your theory that time is going faster is nothing more than a perception because you're too busy throughout the day as you become more mature and take on more responsibilities than to have enough spare "time" to watch a clock, and as you over burden your brain with multitasking your perception of "time" spent doing something vs. "time" you thought you spent doing something becomes warped.

Hi. When you were 5 years old a year was 20% of your experience. When you are 50 years old a year will only be 2%.

justfart is close, however the vibration of a cesium crystal will change if it is subjected to relativistic speeds, vibration is motion,the increased mass of the crystal will cause vibration to decrease. I fully agree with his declaration that time is a man made thing.

I do not know if it is a scientific conclusion or just your perception.
Time is slower too, according to certain people's experience.
