What is time??

If the gravity is stronger , dragging is more . So , the oscillation will be slower .

Dragging? Every time measuring device says that time runs slower, by the amounts predicted by GR. All processes take longer (when measured by an observer higher in the gravity well). Time runs slower.
 
Yes, this is also my opinion.
Higher speed of the neutron that the speed of the photon, cancels Einstein's theory.

Nonsense. SR is the most tested theory in history. It's accuracy has been experimentally and observationally confirmed to 14 decimal places.
 
So , we can consider that , time as uniform .
Why do you persist in repeating this when you have been shown on multiple occasions that it is not?
And have, in fact, stated that it's not yourself.

Do you have any practical evidence that time is running faster or slower ?

Dear sir, must find another cause. :shrug:
 
Time, as defined by convention, is a mental construct that allows us to compare phenomena, on a relative scale, by comparing changes of state, with a change of state defined as the differentials that occur between any of a range of defined variables.

A change of state could be normalized with a change of position on a grid, a change of phase, a vibration, etc.. We define a standard unit, like second, and then we generate a relative scale for all types of phenomena.

Time seems to speed up when we are having fun and appears to slow down if you stare at the clock. The relative scale of time does not change, since all the changes of state will also change in the same proportions, relative to our preception. What will appear to change is the basic unit; second can appear to move faster or slower, even if this does not change based on a convention in the lab.

Time allows us to compare changes of state on a relative scale. However, this does not make time anything more than a mental construct. If we say space-time is bending, due to gravity, it is the imagination that is bending the construct. We mentally plot a new relative scale, since time is not something of substance, based on the current convention. The convention, no where says time is a substance or potential.

Technically, we could tandom fairie dust to time, by defining this as the mental construct dust that appears during changes of state. This could work since this has no substance, like time, by convention. I only used this tandom variable as an example, since it makes it easier to see time, like fairie dust is in the mind.

Relativity will also impact the rate at which fairie dust collects in any given reference. We first need to define a convention since neither time or fairie dust can be collected in a bottle. Once you get that, it make more sense, to figure out a more substantial way to express changes of state using only tangible things. Time potential can do this.
 
Yes, time is measured to run slower or faster under the conditions that we expect time dilation to occur.

Do you attribute that to the curvature of spacetime, i.e. the effect that acceleration has on the rate at which clocks display the measurement of time passing?

No it's not.

This is purely a personal perception: as previously noted.

Wrong.

If we say space-time is bending, due to gravity, it is the imagination that is bending the construct.
Also wrong.

And wrong again.

Bullshit word salad. Again.
 
so Dywyddyr
does time have substance
and if it does how does it manifest ?
What is this "substance" crap?
Time is a dimension.
Time has no more, and no less "substance", than length.

the thing is though that length does have sustance

length is part of the fundamental three dimensional of the manifestation of things , along with , depth and breadth

time is added to understand masses and the consequences thereof, thats all
 
the thing is though that length does have sustance
Really?
What is the "substance" of length?
Can you give me a cup full of length?

length is part of the fundamental three dimensional of the manifestation of things , along with , depth and breadth
And time is a fourth dimension.

time is added to understand masses and the consequences thereof, thats all
Nope.

I thought you'd say this

if you take away length then the object would not exist

the same with depth and breadth

now take away time

the object still exists because the fundimental dimensions that make up the object still exist

time is just the measurement of the movement of the objects themselves

And your point is...?

Beside the point.
Time is not a spatial dimension, therefore to expect it to work like one is rather silly.

Fundamental dimensions do not "make up an object".

time is just the measurement of the movement of the objects themselves
And if they don't move there's no time? ;)

not without depth and breadth

Prove it.

Demonstrate it in some way other than your unsupported assertion.
