I think perception of time can influence growth. Chicken in commercial farming grow faster than chicken breed naturally. I was told they make the chicken sleep and wake more by tampering with the light. Some metabolism for growth takes place when we sleep. I hope some people in commercial chiken frming can shed some light here.

I think the topic is about "perception of time on growth rate of living organisms" not "for God one thousand years is like a day, and a day like a thousand years".

On the later, I dont think we can pinpoint it to 1=1000. The people of those times do not count to such high numbers. The 1000 is use to indicate a long time. The use of the term "one thousand years is 'LIKE' a day". I think its is use to indicate God is timeless. 1day =1000 years and 1000years = 1 day. Another paraphrase of this is "I am the Alpha and Omega". It indicated that God controls a "time machine" to enable Him to freely travel from the begining, end or any point in time.

Thanks Mesosmagent. These were my thoughts after I read your first post. Let me put your question from another angle.

Assume that the sun appearance does not matter.

In situation A, people lived a 23-hours-day. That is 6-8 hours sleep, 8-10 hours work, and the balance is leisure pursuit. In 100 neutral (24 hours a day) days, we had 2400 hours. These people had been through 104 days (2400/23). We can call this situation “Shorter Hours” or “Longer days”. Base on the assumption they will begin a new day every 23 hours. Regardless of daylight of night they will sleep, work, and enjoy leisure.

For Situation B people lived a 25-hours day. In 100 neutral days, the only lived 96 days. We can call this “Longer Hours” or “Shorter Days”.

The question now is will people of the Longer Days aged more than people of the Shorter Days?

Of course the live the same amount of time lim00b. The question is will they age more. The topic is can perception of time aged a person.
