Different physical processed (starting from elementary particles or even below to the universe itself) have different length scales L and different characteristic times T. Larger processed tend to live at slower pace (very roughly, for electron orbitals it is (10−10m,10−15s) while for stars - (1011m,1012s)).
But going into details, objects of the same size have different characteristic times. For example, a human time scale (from 'blink of an eye' (100ms) to the lifespan (70ys)) is much shorter that for a rock of the same size.
The question is if such relation (i.e. T vs. L) is related to complexity of a process (either in terms of precision/robustness of it, long range correlations, or structure of interactions between its components)?
Any 2D plot of "time scale" vs "length scale" of different processed would be appreciated.
