Do the living forms perceive the time as we do?
I will give some examples in order you understand my question.
Does the time (for example a minute) looks longer for a bug which has a short life expectancy?
In a similar way, does a minute looks shorter for a turtle with a long life expectancy?
In a similar way, does a minute looks as a second for a tree with a very long life expectancy? In other words, if a man walks along a tree, would the tree detects him in a point A and then in a point B 20 meters farther and nothing between these 2 points?
Sorry for my English.
This is part of the Hard Problem of Conciousness, look that up.
Perception of time depends partly on age. Remember when you were a kid and summers seemed to last forever, and now you're older the years just fly past? It's because when you were a kid a summer was 10% of your lifespan, and the older you get each year is a smaller and smaller fraction of your life.
Bugs and young turtles think time is slow, old turtles think it's fast.
Bugs have no consciousness to speak of, and while they apparently act rationally with respect to time it's only hardcoded behavior, similar to what robots with a comparable computing power would do.
Reptiles do have some conscious time perception, but their consciousness is very narrow and doesn't extend much beyond obvious cycles like day/night and dangerous situation/safe situation.
Plants are not conscious, their behavior is purely biochemical and mechanical.
For humans the perception of time is globally distorted as one gets older like >>9103203 said.

That was never the case for me. The passing of time has always felt the same.

Really? Subjective time dilation is well documented and certainly true in my experience. How old are you?
