Running Out of Time

Question 2: Is psychological time still applicable? If so, who is it most imporant for?

"Time, why you punish me. Like a wave bashing into the shore." - Hootie and the Blowfish

       Outside of the 90's rock music, the idea of psychological time is really, really interesting to me. We did not get much time (no pun) in class to talk about this concept of psychological time. The idea that time is based in the mind interests me. I would imagine it to be that time runs based on your mental age. If you are, say, 18 years old biologically but grew up in hardship your mind might be like that of a 45-year-old, and psychologically your time is determined by whatever your mental age is. Whether or not it is still applicable to either philosophy or psychology I do not know. If so, I would gather that there is not much work done on the concept because it sounds considerably far fetched. For the last part of my question, who is it most important for, I would imagine it being most important for those who believe in the concept and want to do whatever they can to keep their psychological time from ticking away too quickly. The whole idea to me is very,very interesting and I would be interested to know if it is a concept still being used.

Question 1: In regards to the alternative theory of time flow, what about moments now at this time happening in England in a different time zone? It is not what we are operating on, so does that mean it is not happening?

                In regards to my first question, I still find myself unsure. I do know that in my understanding time flow is subjective to the individual. My understanding of time is the more popular understanding of time. I cannot find it logical to believe that just because I am nowhere near a certain place or time zone does that mean that time there is not flowing. It reminds me of certain philosophical theories where just because I am not experiencing something does not mean it does not exist.

       However, with other theories of time, like time being on many different wave lengths and that no one is on the same wave then, perhaps you could say that those moments in England are not actually happening.
