IF You put a clock on the launch pad of a spaceship and a clock on the ship itself, and set them together. If the spaceship were to launch and travel anywhere close to the speed of light and come back, the two clocks would show vastly different time as passing.
I don’t understand it but I know it’s true.
the closer you get to a gravitational mass, the more time changes... so, on earth, when you stand up, your head and your feet experience different time because of the difference in closeness to a gravitational pull... let that sink in and melt your brain

And it is very consistent, which is how we are able to account for it.
The variable is consistent but the measurement isn’t. That’s my point. A year isn’t a year anywhere but on Earth.

If in any way this helps my wife’s punctuality, I am for it.

Their clocks run slower so without mathematical adjustments, we couldn't have comms or navigation from space.
NASA does this daily... it's a known thing, especially regarding GPS

All I know is the older I get the faster time seems to go... The last 40 years of my life is like a blur now...

Wanna really melt your brain?
When you jack off, your hand is experiencing different time than your dick.

I’m too stupid to understand this so I’ll just keep living in linear time.

Uhh the rotation of the earth based on the position of the sun? Is that not what we base time one? Help me out here
The earth does rotate in a definitive 24 hour cycle. Plus, the earth is in a different location in its revolution after 24 consecutive hours. Have to account for the extra 3 minutes and 56 seconds

Decay. Time, in its essence, measures the rate of decay. That's pretty much it.

I’d offer that when you’re 5 years old, a year represents 20% of your life (maybe even a higher percentage of “what you remember”)
The older you get, the lower percent of your life each year, month, day and hour represents…which in turn reflects your perception.

Absolutely, which is a great contribution to the overall thread as more evidence that time is relative, based purely on perception, and fake AF.

Better question is what happened to it? Did time and everything within it just go away? All the events of the past, what happened to them? They couldn't have just disappeared.
Where'd they/it all go?

That totally makes sense...
