The perception of time comes with comparing one moment to another.
For example, we think that a period of time elapses between two
people holding out their hands and then shaking them.

Similarly, a person makes a comparison when he sees someone enter
through a door and sit in an armchair in the middle of the room. By the time
this person sits in the armchair, the images of the moment he opened the
door and made his way to the armchair are compiled as bits of information
in memory. The perception of time takes place when one compares the man
sitting on the armchair with those bits of recalled information.
Briefly, time comes about as a result of comparisons of information
stored in the brain. If man had no memory, his brain could not make such
interpretations and therefore, he would never form any perception of
time. One determines himself to be thirty years old, only because he has
accumulated in his mind information pertaining to those thirty years. If
his memory did not exist, then he could not think of any such preceding
period and would be experiencing only the single "moment" in which he
was living.
