Is it possible that other life would perceive time as slower or faster?
Sure. It's what has happened to all of us. When we were children a week was incredibly long, we get older and time seems to slip through our grip like slugs over razors.
Could be related to metabolism rate and if so, there is no reason to assume other animals couldn't possibly experience time the same as we do.
I think that it is more likely relate to to the fact that when we are young, we have less experience with time than when we are older. When you are 4, a week represents a much larger fraction of the total time that you have experienced up to then, as opposed to a week for someone 60. When compared like this, a week for a 4 year old is comparable to ~3 1/2 months for the 60 yr old.
I can only relate to my experience in life...at age 9, the age of 15 seemed like it took forever...at the age of 18, thought I'd never get to age 21..at age 27...it was quite comfortable till about 42....then it started speeding up...and then you watch as your kids are GONE and off to school and then on their own and than life takes WHARP SPEED, and again changes....you hear more about deaths than births, and more of sickness than joy.....so as life grow shorter, so does "TIME"
Time seems to move verrry slow when I'm at work, and incredibly fast on Saturdays and Sundays.
So, yes...I'd say ...yes.![]()
Other life? certainly that is most definately possible. In fact we just have to take something like the common house fly, their perception of time is much different from ours. They see and do things much faster than us and our frame of time seems very slow to them. We would have to percieve time at least 6 times faster to approach their frame of reference.
