Time

Ever wonder about the psychological relativity of time. There are days when it assumes a painfully slow pace in contrast to times when u wonder which day of the week it is.

Who decided the speed of time? Who decided the duration of a second? Can a snail experience time? Will a spider know time faster than we do? Would a second be shorter if our reflexes were sharper?

Except at a macro level, our minds seem to be ill programmed to determine time. This could well be the reason for all our measurements of time being relative.
