Awe slows your perception of time because it disrupts your brain’s usual efficiency-driven mode.

In everyday life, your mind predicts what will happen next, compressing familiar experiences so time feels fast.

When you encounter something vast—like a star-filled sky or a towering mountain—your brain can’t rely on those predictions.

It must process more sensory information in the present moment, which makes time feel expanded rather than compressed.

At the same time, awe shifts attention away from the self and toward the bigger picture.

This reduces mental multitasking and pulls you fully into the “now,” increasing memory formation.

Because your brain records more detail, the experience feels longer in hindsight.

That’s why awe not only slows time in the moment, but also makes life feel richer and more meaningful when you look back on it.
