Our perception of time often relates to changes in our surroundings or within ourselves. The concept of time is intertwined with changes in states, events, or motions of objects. When there's no change or movement, time can seem less apparent or perceivable. Time often becomes noticeable due to the transformations or alterations in the world around us.

A study which was just published in the international journal Animal Behaviour, showed that small-bodied animals with fast metabolic rates, such as some birds, perceive more information in a unit of time, hence experiencing time more slowly than large bodied animals with slow metabolic rates, such as large turtles. I think that other factors that varies between humans also affects how we perceive time

I like this explanation. It fits with another I like, which completes the picture a little: if we continue to imagine the Z axis as time, and X as space, the sum of the two speeds - spatial and temporal - equals the speed of light. So when you are stationary in space (arrow pointing up), you are travelling through time at the speed of light. Conversely, if you are stationary in time (arrow pointing right) you are travelling through space at the speed of light. If you tilt anywhere diagonally - so you are moving through both time and space in any distribution, the sum of the two speeds is always the same: you are just distributing speed from one to the other. And this sum is equal to the speed of light. Which implies both that everything is always travelling at the speed of light, and that the speed of light cannot be broken.

I like the description of 4D from Cixin Liu's book "Deaths End".
He describes 4th dimensional objects as being vaguely comprehensible to 3D observers ( Assuming they are also in 4D space ). Analagous to the infinite tunnel effect 2 parallel mirrors make when reflecting each other, we'd see a silhouette conveying a "tunnel" of near infinite 3D topological information.
Imagining a 4D cup of coffee: you'd "see" the information of every possible 3D perspective of the cup and it's contents ( layer by layer ) down to the resolution of the planck distance. All from a singular 4D perspective.
The takeaway from this is that instead of imagining 4D objects as arbitrary "complex" shapes, think of things in terms of conveyable information as limited by perspective. A 2D person would have to change their orienation by rotating within X,Y to see things at a different angle on their plane. However as 3D observers we can see all concievable 2D information simply by looking down at this 2D world in the Z axis. A 4D observer would be no different, merely gazing from a direction that our spacial physiology prohibits us from being aware of.
It's pure sci-fi that doesn't factor in time as Alex does here, but it helps put into context the incomprehensibility of such thinking as long as we exist within a lower dimensional framework. It also embeds how terrifyingly different beings of higher dimensions could be. Able to make sense of the most complex 3D structures imaginable as easily as we witness the wrinkles on a sheet of paper.

Space and time are relative, the more time I spend with my relatives the more space I need
