Drugs that have a 'time-dilation' effect, or those with amnesiac effects will both 'alter' your perception of time. One is a 'true' altered sense, the other is simply a malfunctioning memory.
I read somewhere that the reason time flies when you're having fun of any sort is the brain marks the passage of time by noticeable events. So if you're staring at a clock, it seems to crawl.
You put it so much better than I Oxide, I truly don't really, buy into time being linear in the way we normally accept, yes we can measure a second passing ( lets not get into the whole speed of light thing we would be here for a week just on that alone !) but the whole concept of us all sharing the same thing as far as how long it seems to take to pass doesn't stack up to me.
Its a question of perception, IMO and IME our perception of time can be fluid its all part of being lucky enough to be conscious of time passing and being able to have a concept of the past and future. Time may not even be linear we may just seem to experience it that way, you can tell I find this subject quite fascinating
You only have to scratch the surface or what we know about quantum mechanics, the effects of gravity and object approaching light speed to see that most of what we generally accept as how things work are about as accurate as the Newtonian universe.
