This is an interesting aspect of the relativity of space and time. Time dilation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


"A case of time dilation in action is that astronauts return from missions on the International Space Station (ISS) having aged less than the mission control crew that remained on Earth. Such time dilation has been repeatedly demonstrated (see experimental confirmation below), for instance by small disparities in atomic clocks on Earth and in space, even though both clocks work perfectly (it is not a mechanical malfunction). The laws of nature are such that time itself (i.e. spacetime) will bend due to differences in either gravity or velocity—each of which affects time in different ways." from above Wikipedia Time Dilation article.
Yes, very interesting. Each body has its own time linked to its motion. I did a search as follows: "Does time exist? Is time real? Or is time only an idea?" The answers are no, no, and yes. Is there physical proof of this? Yes.

"Time" is just a word and "t" a symbol in physics.

Another great search: The question is "What is time in reality?" The result of this search: "Time Dilation back-fires, and brings us back to Ground Zero" which is our human concept of time.
