Your face ages faster than your feet, scientists claim. This fact is a curious part of Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity, and scientists claim that time passes faster if you’re just standing a few steps higher on a staircase. Today’s article can show you some other tricks that time can pull like a real wizard, and sometimes you’ll be faced with the illusion of feeling these effects yourself.
Here at Bright Side, we found 20 photos that vividly show how years play with our lives. We’d love for you to take a look at some really amusing stunts of time together with us.
1. “That’s me on the left, approximately 3 years old in 1970; while on the right is my son, age 4 years old, in 2013.”
