Comment The rate is different, but is it also variable? (Score 1) 176
And if so, by how much? It's one thing to say that flies perceive time differently than we do, but I'm curious as to whether:
1. Among many flies, there is variance from fly to fly (both independent and dependent of relative size), and if so, what that variance is...
2. For a single fly, whether there is variance based on age, environment, time of day, etc.
It's always seemed to me like those with an extraordinary talent at something, esp. an athletic or musical talent, are able to slow down time when performing this talent.
I'd tend to say that perception of time should more and more be considered a sense, like sight, sound, taste, etc.
