Did CERN experiments speed up time?

Did we get thrusted into an alternate timeline where time goes by x2+ faster? 2 weeks ago it was July and now Santa Clause is coming to town. None of this makes sense. Weeks feel like days srs.

I've had the opposite experience. 2020 was like 12 years ago.

No. Here's what I think. You're just older, and your brain is filtering out memories it doesn't find interesting. Thus, your day feels effectively compressed. The reason why chit feels longer when you're bored is you don't have anything to really focus your attention on so you concentrate on other observed changes and become very aware of things like your own breathing, etc. And so now those things all make little weak memories and suddenly, you're filling your timeline with garbage observations and your own personal emotional frustrations, which themselves create powerful memories. So then your boredom makes the day feel unbearably slow and awful. On the other hand, let's say you are playing a sport or game. There is always a lot going on to keep you engaged -- so much so that it feels like you can't keep up with anything. All you remember is the emotional experience of joy and key plays. But that joy is short lived and relatively useless to your immediate survival, so you file it away as "had a good time" and move on. Now suddenly the whole day feels shorter while sitting in your office waiting for your sim to complete or whatever it is you do felt like it took forever because of the emotional distress it caused you. And anything that causes you distress is something your brain wants to remember just in case you need to avoid it later.

And I think when you're a kid, you really don't know what is relevant or not and your timeline is pretty short so everything gets cluttered. It's probably why kids have trouble focusing on one thing. They are experiencing tons of stimuli and don't know yet how to filter what doesn't matter. Everything is new and exciting and elicits emotions so your childhood feels way longer in your memories even though it was a relatively short experience in absolute terms.
