Does time remain at a constant flow?
I've been meaning to write about this for awhile. This has probably happened to a lot of you.

I was going through school one tuesday, first class, and it seemed like it took forever. Second and third and fourth clases also seemed like they took forever. I ask my fellow students "Man, is it just me or did that class take forever!". Each one agrees with me. At lunch I am talking with my usual "I sit next to you" guys, and they think that the lunch period is strangly long. My next two classes take forever, then I finally get home.

I get home, and the first words out of my mouth were "Man, It's been a long day." Immediatly, my sister says that she has had a long day to. Shortly after, my mother agrees. I call up my friend and start talking to him, and he says he's had a long day. As soon as my father gets home, he says he had a long day.

We all did completey different things, and yet we've all had "long days". Yes, I do know there are coincidences, but this happens WAY too many times to be a coincidence (no you may not bicker about my spelling).

Something I've learned is that nearly a very large amount of measurements have a basis in rate, that is they are devided by time. Scientist claim that time remains at a constant, without seeing the flaw of their judgement.

If time were to change, that would mean the very rate at which EVERYTHING took place would occur at the same points relative to eachother, meaning that any sort of manipiulation in time is undetectable by any device made out of matter.

Also studies have concluded that velocities and large bodies of matter disrupt the fime flow into a curvature state, causing there to be lapses as time differenciates between the two, ultimately forming the twins paradox.

Twins paradox: If one twin is on a ship heading away from the other who is on earth at the speed of light, which one would time seem slowed down to? The answer is both. The twin on the ship will see everything take place slower, and the twin on the Earth will see the ship and everything on it move slower in a direct relationship.

The problem is that though by personal accounts they both would say that one twin was up on the ship for the same time, the time would've flown differently for the two twins, and thus the twin traveling at the speed of light will be younger than the one on Earth.

Though in both's perspectives the same amount of time would've passed. Now you know why it's a paradox.

Stationary inertia using exact location is fictional. Unless you are at the center of the universe (another "theory of time's velocity" thing), you are moving. If the Earth in the Galaxy were to slow down or speed up or come within a certain distance of another as to cause a mix in the time distortion that each galaxies mass would create (Albert Einsteins theory of gravity), then time would indeed fluctuate

But would we detect it minutely or something? I have no idea. I mean, with so many strange things occuring forming one paradox after another, you might aswell place bets on the point in time in which the fabric of the universe expands to the point of collapse (physicists have determined that an outward force pushing the mesh of the universe is strangly increasing and that there would indeed be a point in time which the wall of the universe collapses and everything will either flatten out and crunch into a singularity or cease to exist altogether).
