The things everyone should know about time.

關于時間，每個人都該知道的事。

Everyone experiences time differently.

每個人對時間的體驗是不同的。

This is true at the level of both physics and biology.

從生物學和物理學角度來說都確有其事。

Within physics, we used to have Sir Isaac Newton’s view of time, which was universal and shared by everyone. But then Einstein came along and explained that how much time elapses for a person depends on how they travel through space (especially near the speed of light) as well as the gravitational field (especially if its near a black hole).

物理學上，牛頓曾提出過經典的、普適的時空觀，但后來愛因斯坦提出，人們身上時間的流逝跟他們在空間中的運動方式（尤其是當運動速度接近光速時）和引力場（尤其是靠近黑洞時）緊密相關。

From a biological or psychological perspective, the time measured by atomic clocks isn’t as important as the time measured by our internal rhythms and the accumulation of memories.

從生物學或心理學的角度來看，由原子鐘計量的精確時間并不如人體內在節律和記憶所計量的時間那樣重要。

That happens differently depending on who we are and what we are experiencing; there’s a real sense in which time moves more quickly when we’re older.

而受到個人身份和經歷的影響，每個人的生物節律都是不同的。隨著年齡的增長，我們確實會有“時間過得更快”的感覺。
