The years indeed get shorter. I read recently that this is because we develop less novelty and more routine. So the idea is we let our hair down and go off on adventures in order to slow time down.

I confess I had heard of them, but never really clocked how extraordinary they were! Fascinating.

Tragically your lulled me into a Google-hole about them rather than a moment of profundity. Stupid modern life!
