I was thinking about general relativity and its affect on time and realized just how relative time itself is to everything in the universe. As mortal beings we give time a value as we only have so much of it, but to an object like a planet time is plentiful and a week to a planet may seem like an instant whereas that week would seem much longer to a being who only survives for 80 or so years. But thats silly, why would a non-living object feel the effects of time passing, that's when i thought about photons, why would a photon care about slowing down or having mass. With the discovery of the higgs its now evident that a photon does not cause an excitation in the higgs field and therefore doesn't have mass, so what if a non-living object (i.e. an object without a perception of time) simply does not excite a theoretical time field. A person who's idea of time is based on how long one has to live would certainly feel the effects of a time field and be susceptible to feelings of durations of time. Tell me what you think, this was a thought i had in bed one night so its rough
