Time is a result of moving objects

I watched "Le Reve" last night at Wynn's in Las Vegas.

So, I think this thought partially came from so many moving objects (people and things) going in so many directions (up, down, sideways and spinning and underwater) at once. This likely is the most people at one time I have seen doing so many diverse things at once.

So, as I was waking up this morning I thought about time. And time likely only exists because there is space and there are objects moving. Once you have objects moving in space you have the forces of gravity affecting all those objects. So, time becomes the rate at which those objects spin, rotate and otherwise interact with each other.

The above is one level of time.

The next level of time is that humans experience time depending upon their size. So, when you are a baby time goes very slow (because you are moving much quicker in your brain as a baby than as an adult. Because time is based upon the speed of the electricity in your neurons as they travel through your brain and neurons and muscles as you interact with the world.

For example, observe a fly. His or her whole life cycle is only a few days. So, imagine you could live 30 or 40 years in a few days (or 70 years). This is what a fly's life is like.

Another example, can you imagine being a hummingbird?

How does a hummingbird perceive time?

Not like a human I would venture.

The average hummingbird lives 3 to 5 years but it is possible for one to live 10 years.

Here is something about a hummingbird:

With the exception of insects, hummingbirds while in flight have the highest metabolism of all animals, a necessity in order to support the rapid beating of their wings during hovering and fast forward flight.[5][18] Their heart rate can reach as high as 1,260 beats per minute, a rate once measured in a blue-throated hummingbird,[19] with a breathing rate of 250 breaths per minute, even at rest.[20] During flight, oxygen consumption per gram of muscle tissue in a hummingbird is approximately 10 times higher than that seen for elite human athletes.[5]

end partial quote from:
  1. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hummingbird   Cached
    They are known as hummingbirds because of the humming sound created by their beating ... first year of life, ... during the two phases of the wingbeat cycle, ...
    So, the speed at which time travels depends upon the species and the species size. So, as a human being you might perceive that beings all around you perceive time the same. No, this isn't true. Size causes how you perceive reality.
    So, the larger you become the faster you will tend perceive time to be passing by.
    Then there are other factors like life view:
    How one views life: I.E. whether they are happy or sad makes times appear to move faster or slower as well.
    The happier you are the faster time seems to move and the more unhappy you are makes time take forever to move by. 
    But this is more subjective than objective based upon mental and emotional states.
    So, I would say that time exists only when there are at least two objects in relationship to each other in space moving in some way.
    So, if you were alone in space outside of a galaxy somewhere would time exist?
    If you were facing a galaxy time likely would exist.
    But, if you were facing away from a galaxy and no other objects existed for you and you never became aware of them you might have no knowledge of time, space, movement or galaxies.
    If you were in a spaceship traveling between galaxies some form of time would exist because you would then be traveling from one object (one galaxy) to another.

    So, I guess my basic premise here is that I realized that time comes from the movement of objects in relationship to each other in space. And the perception of time comes from the speed electricity travels in our neurons and muscles.
