hum... personally I believe that time does not exist, it's just a measurement of change. (to be discussed here http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...hl=time+travel)

But in the case of perception of time, and the effects on biology, then yes, there is definately "some" effects, though it might not be time based, it is not about slowing or quickening time.

It's about, whether our body is performing at an optimum, rate. if we lack sleep because the day simply won't turn to night, and we can't recover more from over sleeping... then naturally our body will be affected. "Age" here refers to the displayable features of the being, therefore a weak and degenerated person who will not recover will be considered to have aged. But in essence, he is still the same age, and time does not change for him, he just dies earlier... haha.

Our biological clock, in away won't change that's true, and it's a good observation with the eskimos (lin00b ) But I believe it can be confused,
our biological clock is like a pedulum, it ticks on constantly, we get a gauge of time, based on the number of ticks.

The pedulum ticks are fairly accurate, but could vary alittle, and if a person is in a hyped state, his ticks may be quicken, giving him a feeling like time is moving slowly.

Our internal time can be adjusted, such as in the case of Jet Lag.

Just my mind fart.
