I've always seen it relating to longer periods in terms of the length of your life so far. So, when you're young, the summer holidays seem to last forever. Yes, I noticed that when you're a parent, they still seem to last forever, but for different reasons. 🤣 In the same vein, when you're five, a year is 20% of your whole life, and you've probably forgotten most of the first two years, meaning it's more like 33%. When you're fifty, a year is only 2% of your life. This all applies to hindsight, of course, which is normally a very accurate tool, but not always.

Scientific? Well, I suspect it's psychology, and if you've got an "ology", you're a scientist. ☎️
Hehe. You asked for it!
It is the same principle behind why "the journey home" always seems to take less time, or you barely remember the journey. Your brain has done the route so many times that it knows not to long-term record the events. Unless something different/unusual happens, which needs filing, it chalks it up to "more of the same" - kind of a shorthand notation for the events. It puts a tick against the fact you did that journey, but doesn't note down every second of the journey.
It effectively does the same for a longer passage of time, like a year. It will record the details of specific events, like your family holiday to Barbados, but the weeks/months of just going to work, doing the daily grind, coming home, cooking, eating, doing basic evening stuff, sleeping, rinse and repeat all get ticked as having been done but not fully logged. So when we think back the period seems much quicker/shorter than it actually was.
Your past year is just like your journey home.
