However, an ancient Greek sophist named Antiphon was the first to describe time as an unreal thing. In a fragment preserved from his chief work On Truth, he held that “Time is not a reality, but a concept or a measure.”

In Greek mythology, Chronos (not to be confused with Kronos, the leader of the first generation of Titans and father of Zeus) is identified as the personification of Time. His name means “time” and he is usually portrayed as an old, wise man with a long, gray beard.

The subjective perception of the passing of time tends to speed up as we age. Older people often complain that the years (and even the days) pass much more quickly than they used to.

A temporal illusion is a distortion in the perception of time that occurs for various reasons, such as different kinds of stress. In such cases, a person may momentarily perceive time as slowing down, stopping, speeding up, or even running backward, as the timing and temporal order of events are misperceived. When we say that time slows down, what we actually mean is that our internal clock speeds up, which gives the impression that time in the rest of the world has slowed down.
