very interesting. can I find more about the experiment? How did they test the subjects to measure the result? But thank you, I love to expand my knowledge :-)

Sure thing! You can obtain the full text for the study for free at the link below. I believe a sample of 499 participants aging from 14-94 years old were presented a questionnaire with questions about their perception of time.
