I don't know enough about the stuff to form a strong argument but I feel if they live on our plane of existence, they experience time. And if they're intelligent enough to communicate with us, they could perceive the passing of it. Counting events of some kind would just come naturally

    I guess I'm just saying we don't know that for sure. We don't even really know if lobsters or mushrooms or trees "experience" time. We know shrimps probably experience colors we can't conceive of, it's not that far removes from reality.
