How many frames per second does life run at?

If I close a cabinet door, does life stop rendering my ramen packets and heinz baked bin cans?

depends if your cabinet is a 3d model or made of csg. and even then you can not assume there is not a leak

Sometimes I think about how strange it is that everything in the world experiences time at the same time, if that makes sense. Like I'm here living my life, doing things, I have about 30 years of memories. In that same 30 year time, some abandoned cabin in the woods has slowly aged, nothing has changed inside of it save for some bugs crawling around. Every second of my life and that abandoned cabin's life ticked by at exactly the same rate.

based on the time it takes light to travel one planck unit of distance, which as far as i understand would be the smallest measure of time that could even theoretically be measured (with the universe effectively discrete to planck distances). but im no physicist and that may for all i know be total nonsense.

if you want to get nitpicky you could argue this is false. gravity, and by extension time, is not consistent everywhere on earth because of density variations, elevation, and not to mention the moon's gravity. also you moving around while the cabin sits stationary will affect it too. but yeah the differences are imperceptible.

a clock at sea level and a clock at the top of mount everest would eventually drift apart about 40 minutes but it would take the age of the planet for it to happen.

I agree with this. The Planck time is the equivalent of the universal refresh rate and the Planck length is the universe's resolution.

I disagree with treating a limitation of theory as physically descriptive. It ignores that the planck length is only a proposed limit in measurable length when merging existing theories that are known to be incomplete and don't get along well to begin with.

One planck time is 5.39 * 10^−44 seconds.

So one frame per plank time is 1.85 * 10^43 fps, which is:
18552875695732800000000000000000000000000000
Cybernetic Vermin's guess was
6497725795971410000000000000000000000000000

which is only off by a factor of less than 3

There was a Serious Science experiment where they tested if the "time slows down when you're mortally terrified" effect people report resulted in perceiving an effectively higher FPS with your visual system

I believe they had people skydiving or long bungee jumping for the first time look at some sort of tablet device and crank the FPS as high as they could perceive a difference

The results were about the same as on the ground

the wackest thing to me is that your nervous system (including your cognition) has a fairly significant processing delay, tens of milliseconds or longer, so you can never actually be aware of the present
