One thing I find kinda amazing is when traveling on a expressway for some
time, then for whatever reason, have to stop on the expressway and get out
of the car, how amazingly huge the road looks.
Is this all an illusation, a combination of the "reminiscence bump"
and some fallacy involving imagined multiplication of time periods?
Have ever gone to work or school? By this I mean actually traveled to a
workplace or school?
I am supposing. yes, so...
Remember what it was like the first time you actually took the trip from
home to work or school, then after you made the trip say everyday for..
uhh, 6 months or so. Didn't the same trip seemed much shorter?
I am again supposing you're saying yes.
Why is this?
I don't know, but have you ever seen a movie at the cinema, and then,
a few months later, it comes out on DVD, and the whole movie seems
much shorter the second time round?
Lord of the Rings is a good example. At the movie theatre it went on
and on and on and on.... whereas re-watching it on DVD didn't seem
especially long.
I guess it's like that.
