Flies have super...Yes there is a theory about that. Flies have super quick metabolic rate and short life span. Apparently they see things so quickly that normal neon lights look like strobes to them (neon lights actually flash, but so quickly that humans don't notice). There was one person who said it might have something to do with heart rate. Mice hearts beat proportionally quicker than ours.<br /><br />However the exception to the rule is birds. Birds have fast metabolism and a fast heart beat, but live longer than they should according to that rule. But then another evolutionary biologist came along and said that this can be explained because birds developed flight capability. By being able to fly away from dangers, they have created an advantage over other species and thus get to enjoy both longer life spans and faster metabolism.<br /><br />Interesting stuffLee Farrandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06405103217824096934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31385473.post-18609334621756403722009-06-29T14:34:42.532+09:002009-06-29T14:34:42.532+09:00Yes that's also my opinion about our changing ...Yes that's also my opinion about our changing perception of time as we grow older. Also it might have to do with our decreasing rate of metabolism. Smaller animals like mice have really high metabolic rate and also very fast reaction time, meaning their perception of time is at a much higher frame rate than ours. Is that right (I'm not a scientist so I might be completely wrong)?dokebihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02772061504112738758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31385473.post-55654732002099786812009-06-18T14:15:00.229+09:002009-06-18T14:15:00.229+09:00I really like reading your blog posts.

I have been practically begging to be sent for a 'refresher course' ever since I returned to the States. Keep up the posting; I'll check back as often as I can. Thank you!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12298943175984011429noreply@blogger.com
