Could this have something to do with quantum physics? As in we only experience / feel time when we observe it?

  Highly unlikely. It has more to do with what we focus our attention on, rather than anything in physics. It's like Einstein's[1] explanation of the relativity of time - "When you sit with a nice girl for two hours you think it’s only a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove for a minute you think it’s two hours” - which actually has nothing to do with the relativity of time, since the entities are not moving with respect to each other. [1] Einstein apparently had his secretary give this answer when people asked for an explanation of relativity, because they didn't understand accurate answers (source: https://quoteinvestigator.com/2014/11/24/hot-stove/#:~:text=That's%20relativity.,-In%20June%201930&text=Prof.,it%20seems%20like%20an%20hour.%E2%80%9D) https://quoteinvestigator.com/2014/11/24/hot-stove/#:~:text=....

    I was thinking more about this: > The observer effect is the phenomenon in which the act of observation alters the behaviour of the particles being observed. Then in terms of entities not moving with respect to each other - isn't that only valid for dimensions we can observe? What if perceiving time at different pace means we are moving in a different dimension differently?

  I believe so - I wrote a series of explorations of those ideas, starting with the theory that flow state is what happens when we don't create facts by orienting in time. Always happy to plug it since these ideas are at the edge of my intellectual capacity and discussing them with smart people helps them become clearer. https://www.amazon.com/Quantum-Time-dimensional-holons-explain-ebook/dp/B0CBG8NSYY/ https://www.amazon.com/Quantum-Time-dimensional-holons-expla...
