i was..you guessed it..tripping a couple of days ago and i started thinking about...you guessed it.. how relative time can be.

it started thinking about how a mouses heart beats over a hundred times a minute while we are at a mere 60 or so. This is proportionate to the lifespan a mouse lives versus a person. it's almost as though time moves differently for a mouse.

this evolved to the extreme

now it goes without saying that if our rate in time was fast enough, everything was standing still. that means that there could be hundreds of species and even intelligent life that to us is immobile.
this, of course, goes both ways. there could be species moving and living at unimaginable speeds that thinks of us as immobile and part of their natural environment. too fast for us to see, and their civilization could be built into an empire and crumble to nothing in less than a blink of an eye.
