Obviously I am wrong in assuming perhaps other worlds may evolve at different rates than we did. It's always good to have a resident expert on tap to fall back on.
I think Star Trek Voyager had an episode where they were orbiting a planet that was caught in some sort of accelerated temporal state... and time moved faster the further down into the planet's atmosphere that you got.

From the perspective of the Voyager crew, they were stuck in orbit around the planet for a few days - yet from the perspective of the humanoids on the planet, thousands of years had passed... and they had gone from living in caves to having a space program of their own.

Who knows what freaky shit's out there. We don't even have a unified theory yet.
