It occurred to me: the speed of time depends solely on the physical properties of an organism. Like the brain, eyes, ears, muscles. If we could magically enhance all these, new generations would simply live longer, altering their own time scale, and there wouldn’t be any need to do anything about aging, the sense of life itself would change. Nature has already done this for other animals: take spiders or snakes with their slowed sense of life, or even ordinary mosquitoes. A counterexample – turtles. Signals in the human nervous system travel at 300 km/h, which provides a nice margin for “optimization”.
An interesting point arises from this. Since organisms and their properties vary among different animal species, their perception of time flows at different speeds. To them, we must seem like real “turtles”. And their short lives may be no less rich in events (most of which we can’t even imagine), as ours (most of which they can’t even imagine).
I wonder why nobody has made a movie about this yet
