What is “Time” and how exactly does it work?
In: Physics
Time does not exist in the way we think. It’s not a line; that’s an oversimplification. Throw away any concept of linear time you have and try to see the world you navigate in as millions of small atoms. The movement, decaying and transformation of those atoms (and all other particles) is what we can call time, but it’s not bound to a global ‘timeline’. It all happens locally.
It seems this process seems to go slower when close to heavy objects (like Earth).
So in general when we zoom out, all across the earth the decaying / transformation process is about the same rate to our perception (although we do need to correct this on a low level sometimes in machines).
