Flies to avoid tapping with Keanu Reeves in the movie "The Matrix" to escape the bullet as a way out, are watching the time slowly passing.
In the insects, mankind rolled up the newspaper in the air fast flying, but also like a thick syrup through the slow. Just as Rivies later walked sideways like a slow bullet, and flies had plenty of time to escape. The perception of time is different from ours, not just flies. The study found that for many different species, the perception of time is directly related to the size of the body. In general, the smaller the size, the faster the metabolic rate, the slower the time it flows.
Studying the ability of various animals to detect the rapid flash of light provides evidence for this conclusion. The "critical flicker fusion frequency" (ie, the flicker frequency increases to the light becomes stable to the critical value) provides a time-aware concept. After this study and comparison of different animals, scientists revealed the relationship between time perception and size.
"Many researchers have been able to test this conclusion by measuring the perception of various animals by the perception of the flash, and some have been able to perceive a very fast flash, and some of the senses are so slow that they are flashing," said Dr Andrew Jackson, of the University of Dublin in the Republic of Dublin. "It's interesting to note that the difference between large and small animals is very large, and it seems an indisputable fact to look at the world in a slow-motion mode with animals smaller than our humans. The force is on the vertebrate, but if you turn to look at the flies, they perceive the flash faster than us four times faster. Imagine flies look at all the scenes with slow motion.

Research director Jackson said that the impact may also explain why we feel that time after fleeing. After noticing that the children seemed to be always in a hurry, he was inspired to start the study. "It can not help but think of the relative adult, the time seems to be relatively slow in the child, and there is some evidence to confirm that it may be true.It has been confirmed in humans that the flicker fusion frequency is related to human objective time perception And will change with age, children are perceived to be absolutely faster. "
TV, computer and movie screen are through the flash to render the picture, because of its high frequency, so the human watch can produce a continuous picture of the illusion. Jackson said that pets can only see the TV flash only, pet owners may be surprised, but no way, their visual system updates faster than the TV screen.
The study investigated more than 30 species of animals, including rodents, eels, lizard reptiles, chickens, pigeons, dogs, cats and leather turtles. Behind several large body, slow metabolism, and the passage of time is relatively fast. In a paper published in the Journal of Animal Behavior, the researchers point out that smaller, more agile species are more capable of sensing information per unit of time. That is, they can see more flash every second.
Scientists believe that time perception is only another aspect of evolution and survival. Kevin Healy, Ph.D., Ph.D., School of Natural Sciences, Dublin, participated in the writing of the article, saying: "Our findings provide support for the importance of animal time perception. For fast-moving organisms, the time in microscopic environments "Perhaps if the brain can not handle information quickly, even if the eye is able to move to the brain faster than the speed of mankind," says Graham Lakesston, a professor at the University of St Andrews in Scotland, who is also involved in the study. It is also meaningless to convey information, so the study emphasizes that even the smallest creatures have the ability to think about this flattery, flies may not be deep thinkers, but they can be in a very short time Make a wise decision. "
Another animal from the University of Edinburgh, Dr. Luke McNealy, pointed out that some animals may be time-perceived differences as their own advantages: "For example, many species will flash as a signal, such as fireflies and many deep-sea animals If there is no agile visual system, the larger, more slow predatory animals can not interpret the information, which makes the signal of the species has a secret communication channels.
