See what 2 hours of Animal Planet can do to you.
.
Trivial, I know, but worth pondering a thought.
.
I’ve always wondered why really huge things when they move, they seem slow from my perspective. Yet when I knock over a bottle, it happens so fast i can never catch in time to avoid spilling my Coke all over my carpet.
.
Also, when I’m watching some sort of animated bug movie, everything to them ( like the scene where those ants get run over by the kid with gum on his shoe) looks extremely slow.
.
So, is time somehow related to size? It’s possible. I mean, who would have thought that time has a relation to speed. So, can time also depend on size?
.
Might this be a reason why its so freakin hard to swat that damn fly on the kitchen table? Does it see the rolled up newspaper coming towards him at an extremely slow speed? Or is all of this retarded because its all about perspective?
.
I don't know.
.
All I know is that there is a high probability this has been disproven (but of course), but still nothing beats me more than asking the purpose of the darned cockroach's existence alongside Mankind in the first place.
