Personally I'm of the opinion that these special moments are special because of a rough formula (happiness or meaning)/time. The greater the value, the more special that moment is. If the moment went on for longer and longer it would lose its significance. For instance briefly meeting the Queen might be a grand experience, a very special moment. If on the other hand you lived in Buckingham Palace it isn't really all that special. That's because you are thinking of time in the sense that we have here today, where you are doing one thing for a long time.

I'm thinking of time where the distance between two seconds could last a thousand years. It's hard to explain. It's not like getting up every morning and going hiya queen, it's like you are experiencing everything for the first time, and you can control how long everything lasts.

I don't know if that makes any sense at all.
