Time warp?

[Rabbidmoth]

What if smaller objects instead of falling slower due to low weight fell because we saw the object fall from a faster time-frame. I say this because scientists say that a fly can actually maneuver faster then physicaly possible. This could be because the fly is veiwing it from a slower time-frame and has enough time to fly around. What I'm saying is that larger objects might veiw time slower and smaller ones faster.

 

(This is all just a idea and its probably not correct!)

It's a very fast response time... but not "faster than physically possible".

 

If you like to define a new, slower time frame, in which flies do stuff at "normal" speed, and humans are incredibly slow... then you're free to do that.

There's no physical basis for that, and it's not backed up by empirical data. Atomic clocks use atoms, which are pretty small. But they experience time the same way that larger clocks do.

I think his view is plausible.

 

Maybe from an atomic clocks' perspective their (the clock's) definition of 1-sec is one complete vibration of themselves whereas our 1-sec is a few millions (number?) vibrations of theirs.

No, it's not. You count the oscillations.

Well then how about since our brain is larger the electrical impulses take a longer time to travel between brain cells whereas for a fly with their equivalent of a brain and yet much smaller the travel time is so much less shorter. As a result they live in a speed-up world when compared to ours. They probable laugh at us for being slow pokes.

 

I forgot to mention that I disagree with the speed of falling object is due to their time frame which depends on their size. Sorry about the confusion.
