"...we are taught from childhood to regard absolute Newtonian time- that is, the steady, observable ticking of the kitchen clock- as the single valid measuring stick for all things in the world. The shrew is quick, we say, whereas the grizzly bear is ponderous. However, each of those animals is living at the appropriate pace of its own biological clock-- and the result, living quickly for two years or ponderously for thirty-one years, is in the end the same."
