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.

I love you dude. I had this same exact notion, although I wasn't tripping.
I think everything has it's own perception of time, some slower or faster than others. I also thought of a species that perceived time as going by really fast, or at least really fast compared to our perception. And I always thought of these species controlling us, but we can't see them, for they travel at the speed of light, perhaps faster if possible. It's an interesting notion, but like most they can go to the extreme and become very implausible
