Why does time speed up when you get older?

In today’s society, mathematics underpins almost everything we do. It is vital to the ways in which we communicate with each other and the methods we use to navigate from place to place. It has completely altered how we buy and sell and it has revolutionised the manner in which we work and relax. Its influence can be felt in almost every courtroom and every hospital ward, in every office and every home. Maths might even explain why time seems to speed up as we get older.

Do you remember, when you were younger, that summer holidays seemed to last an eternity? For my children, who are four and six, the wait between consecutive Christmases seems like an inconceivable stretch of time. In contrast, as I get older, time appears to pass at an alarming rate, with days blending into weeks and then into months, all disappearing into the bottomless sinkhole of the past.

And app developers say they're not selling enough copies of their VR programs and games to succeed.

All told, it's been near impossible to tell whether the rest of the world really cares much.

All credit cards generally fall into one of two categories: personal and business. Almost all of us carry around multiple personal credit cards from issuers like American Express, Discover, Capital One, Chase, and more. We use them to take advantage of welcome offers, earn cash back and points, and enjoy additional benefits like purchase protection, free checked baggage, and access to airport lounges.

Most of these credit card companies, the ones that we use almost everyday for our personal purchases, also offer business credit cards. Which begs the question, what makes a business credit card different from a personal credit card, and who is actually eligible to have one?

What if nearly everything we thought we knew about poverty was wrong? What if the legions of policymakers, social scientists, economists, aid workers, charities and NGOs marching across the globe have been using the wrong strategy, and the wrong tactics, to wage the wrong war against poverty?

With the very best of intentions, we’ve been trying to help poor people ascend the ladder out of poverty in the name of social and economic justice.
