There is an opinion that animals, uh-uh... those who live at high speed don't see anything slow, is that true? confused.gif

How's that? Then they would see almost nothing at all, since everything inanimate stands still.. And in general, I watched BBS, they say that they see almost the same, only they catch much more frames, for them time passes more slowly..

Try to swat the fly and make a slightly sharp movement with your hand - you will see how it does not see. Maybe, of course, the hairs will smell the fluctuation of the air. In general, animals with faceted eyes see moving objects better than those at rest, because when an object moves, it passes through a large number of facets at once. There is another feature of faceted eyes - they are good at picking up fluctuating objects - so, for example, a movie for them would look like alternating frames. but this is due to the structure of the eye, its optical properties, and not to the general "speed" of the body.
