d / t

What is t, really?

It's really just another form of distance, whether you express that in terms of cesium nuclear energy state changes, or the distance a clock hand moves. So d / t is really d_1 / d_2.

Can there be an impact on how organisms age in such places?

Hard to imagine how that could be the case, other than with messed up circadian (and diurnal, etc) rhythms.
