I kind of wondered if there was a way to measure the idea that time goes faster as we get older. I know it's most likely a memory/new experience thing and has been discussed before but let's just assume that time goes faster over time ("time acceleration" or the rate of change of time) and that we could perceive it (again impossible). How would we measure this? I mean could this effect be related to space-time curving etc. from matter and somehow similarly measured? Doubtful but an interesting thought experiment.
"If time has been slowing down, and clocks are now running more slowly than they did long ago, it would appear from our perspective as if things have been speeding up."
If this explains why we feel time going faster as we get older, wouldn't that imply that our soul is based in a non-physical dimension?
I think that it is most likely that this phenomena is psychological and doesn't indicate time accelerating.
As for measuring time acceleration, perhaps comparing time on earth to time on the event horizon of a black hole and seeing if they deviate by a different amount than predicted by the present mathematical models it would be useful for uncovering any acceleration of time. Assuming the acceleration of time was exponential then the slowing of time on the event horizon would lead to a different rate of acceleration than on earth. Evidence of that difference could prove the theory.
