Few weeks ago, went to a state park I had never been before for a hike. It's close by, about less than 30 minute drive on the local roads but it seemed long and hiking the trail for a hour and half seemed like eternity. Max was all jumpy and awestruck enjoying the olfactory buffet.
Today morning we went again to the same state park, the drive seemed shorter and hiking the trail went fast, the trail was in fact seemed shorter than what usually do every weekend in another state park. Max was less excited and constrained his sniffing unlike last time. Our anxiety had dropped like the stock market last year.
Last time I checked, our earth hasn't shrunk.
No brainer, its an obvious example of how brain tends to make time slow when an environment is new and slowly moves the learnings from short term memory to long term episodic memory. Having been to the state park earlier, time flew by today and everything around the park started to look mundane.
Isn't the gray mass under our skull, fascinating?
