This i don't like, but can neither disprove, and just look at the pickle i get myself in with these forums :P . (my bad ).

Well for one thing you can look at memory as percieving something that you have percieved before, but to a lesser degree. Also there is probably not a set rate at which anything percievable occurs when you are thinking about something like that... Unless you want to look at the rate at which you percieve or remember percieving things as the set rate and the rate at which clocks pass the time as variable. Anotherwords time flies when your having fun, goes slow some other times etc.
