Time is experienced differently by different species from "summary" of The Order of Time by Carlo Rovelli

Think about a dog. Dogs live their lives in a different way than we do. They perceive the world differently. They live shorter lives than we do. Everything happens faster for them. A dog's heartbeat is faster than a human's. Their metabolism is faster. They perceive time differently. Imagine a world where everything moves slowly. A world where a minute is like an hour. This is the world of a fly. Flies move quickly. They react quickly. They live their lives quickly. For a fly, time passes differently than it does for us. Different species perceive time in different ways. Each species has its own way of experiencing the world. Each species has its own rhythm of life. The passing of time is not the same for all creatures. It is relative. Time is not fixed. It is not the same for everyone. Humans have a particular way of experiencing time. We have a sense of the past and the future. We are aware of the passing of time. We measure time in seconds and minutes. We have clocks and calendars. We plan for the future and remember the past. This is unique to humans. Time is a part of our experience of the world. It is intertwined with our consciousness. It is a fundamental aspect of our existence. But time is not the same for everyone. It is not the same for every species. Each species has its own way of perceiving time. Time is experienced differently by different species.
