Why are they called minutes when the feel more like hours.

Because as Bromide just pointed out:  Time is relative.

If you are relaxed and in the now?  There is no time to consider.  

If you are in bliss?   Time goes by so fast, that an hour seems like minutes.

When you are bored beyond measure?  Feeling down? Sick?  Depressed?

TIME DRAGS.  One minute can seem like an hour.  Think of the worst headache, earache, toothache you experienced.   Think how the time went by.   OH MY GOD.  SLOOOWWWW.

Meeting Notes are Called “Minutes” ... “Minutes” in this sense first popped up in the early 18th century, possibly directly from the Latin “minuta scriptura”, meaning “small notes” or just “minuta”, meaning “small” or possibly via the 16th century “minute” definition of “rough draft” from the preceding Latin.

And why do the years feel like minutes? Ugh.

oh dear
for me minutes feel like seconds .. LOL
