One factor, gravity may have been .5 G back then

Well, increased gravity might account for why everything seems more
difficult now than when we were young.
We used to be able to walk to school in the snow, uphill in both
directions.
Has the earth's mass increased significantly?
If gravity itself has changed, then maybe speed of light has changed also!
Is there a substantial increase in the computron density in modern
computers?

"Modern flat Earth beliefs propose that Earth is a flat, disc-shaped
planet that accelerates upward, producing the illusion of gravity.
Proposers of a flat Earth, such as the Flat Earth Research Society, do not
accept compelling evidence, such as photos of Earth from space.[13]"
An increase in acceleration (third derivative positive) would account for
increased gravity.
