I suppose that even in our system currently, 1 second is all but a reference.

If we were to take rotation of the planet as a reference to time, notice that different planets have different length of year respectively, for example Uranus  takes 88 days to complete its rotation. But in its perspective, it has completed one Uranus year.

So by that logic, I suppose even if the time perception is different, the life span of human is unaffected. While there are fictions e.g. Superman or even Einstein's theory; when one move with the speed of light, time becomes relative (or something).

Changes would not happen within 1 lifespan. But consider the evolution of a species living on a habitable system about the distance of Uranus from the Sun. It would be curious to see what effect the different periods of seasons etc would have on the development of lifeforms

If you need a little bit of a slap, try watch this video... good knowledge

Wow, thats really throwing in something totally unrelated. Although i have to point out that neither the rotation of the earth nor the distance of the moon from earth are constant (earth slowing down, moon moving further away), while the speed of light IS constant. Anyway to a believer, its a clear sign. To a skeptic however, it seems like coincidental math.

Oh ye of little faith!

EDIT: did some further reading up on this issue, ad I dont think its a matter for debate here. You are welcome to open a separate thread to discuss the existence of scientific prophecies in religious texts ridhuan
