It doesn’t piss me off at all, but too many people think time is consistent. Time fluctuates, moves faster or slower depending on your relative speed. There could be dead spots in the galaxy/universe where time simply does not pass.
I’m with you aside from the places where time may not pass. Time isn’t a “place” thing. Particles traveling through that space would have time pass for them so long as they were traveling sublight.
I’m thinking there’s got to be areas where there is nothing passing through, somewhere out there. It’s more of a thought experiment than anything i suppose.
This is one thing that always got me. Isn’t this all based on movement? When we talk about time in warped spacetime being different from time “elsewhere” isn’t it usually based on how we track time? (physical clocks, atom vibration, etc…) An example I remember reading about was the light clock on a moving object. The faster you move the “longer” it takes the light to bounce from mirror to mirror, but that shouldn’t change what one bounce was initially defined as.
We defined time as a measurement between two points of “existence” to relate to changes within that period at what I’d call “standard spacetime.” I’ve always felt like one second is one second, it’s just your clock that was affected.
I guess it’s the relative part that gets me. If it’s all down to movement, down to the atom, everything that could happen in 1 earth second on earth happens in the ticking of 3 seconds in altered spacetime does it actually mean anything significant?
…idk now after writing it out I’m more confused about why I was confused. It makes sense, it just feels like it shouldn’t make sense lol

Time does not pass for entities traveling at c. Everything else is reference frame.
That’s crazy too. Light travels instintantly, but it takes time to reach us. Reality be cray, i love it.
That’s because light is in a different reference frame than we are.
Your mom so big she absorbs lights refrence frames
Yo momma so fat she got an event horizon.
That’s a good one

I hear you one hundred percent. If it wasn’t tricky our best minds wouldn’t still be scratching thier heads over it.
