Poll: Does time move slower for hummingbirds?

Theoretically, yea.

//Edit

I'm confused, speed affects time...but the hummingbird aint exactly flying at the same speed as a fighter jet so i doubt it's noticeable.

The hummingbird aitn 1000x faster than everything else...if you are sitting down and i run past you time isn't moving slower for me.

nope...

If so, it would be so mintue. Consider this too. Standing still on Earth would be the standard rate passage for earth. Since the earth is rotating around the sun and spinning etc. Maybe if you could be in deep space, and come to a compete stop, things could be even different since the earth would be traveling very fast. Lke the humming bird next to an Albetros. But, we have to remeber, even in deep space, we are traveling at a high rate of speed around our own galaxy, and the universe itself. I wonder if it is even possible to reach absolute zero velocity relative to the universe?Darthmatt

no you should know taht time is time no diffrence between different creaturesrey-mistyrio

i mean if you drive at a speed of 100 km does time for you movefaster than a person driving at 130km?

the answer is absoulutley NO!

There was a segment in some science channel program that has some relevence. It involved a device that repeatedly displayed a random number, but it did so too fast for people to read the number. But when they had people look at the display as they were bungie jumping (or something comparable), these people could make out the random number. I guess it's like people saying how time slows down for them right before or during a car accident. Adrenaline and the stress of the situiation makes you perceive things more quickly. luccaface

Wow took me a second to figure out.

Hmm does this mean I'd have better reactions in counter-stirke if i was sitting ontop of a fast moving train???

how am i wrong are you saying that the guy driving at the speed of 100 time for him goes faster than the guy at 130 well thats just wrong cause time goes by at the same speed its just the guy is moving slower not time moving faster like if both were wearing watches and you ask both of them at the same time what time is it both will give you the same answer or can you prove me wrong rey-mistyrio

gotta say quit interesting but still im not convinced that its because time speed

ok im gonna ask my physics teacher and see what he says or i might just research it on the net

NO, but you'd have better reactions on counterstrike if you were a hummingbird.

Birds (nearly) always seem to get out of the way of cars at the last second, but for them, there's plenty of time yo move. Its all in the perception of time.

I know that we can not distinguish the 30 frames per second of static images on-screen and consider them as a moving image. I heard that flies can see at 600 fps. Although I can't explain how they found that out. Perhaps while trying to swat them?

Just because they move faster doesn't mean time moves slower for them.shufu7-11

Xaos, I thought time was an absolute, and that our relative perception was the only variable. This was also really meant to be philosophical rather than scientific.

For example, the hummingbird experiences normal time, it is our relative time that is slower to he hummingbird. ;)
