It is interesting to observe that the perception of time changes with zooming in/out. I know the actual speed of the gliders remains the same, but it seems to my eye that they speed up if you zoom out and slow down if you zoom in.

I wonder if this perception has an analogue in the physical world that has relativity as a consequence.



They really slow down it's not just perception. Try to time it.


The distance metric also changes.
