I've always felt that time was relative in general. At least from the human perspective, it is very relative. Yet, I did feel that time was static in relationship to other phenomenon. Now, after talking about some of the phenomenon in class, it has made me start to wonder about what time really is. I feel that humans measure time by comparing occurrences of things against other things to gain a static measuring stick. For instance the Japanese use the flow of water filling up a bamboo shoot to measure time. Scientists measure time by keeping track of radioactive decay. All of these things holds up well as long as our measuring sticks don't change. Now, I come to find that everything is subject to change based upon how big of a gravity field they are hanging out by. IF you start to think about it then time really is an illusion. It seems that the universe just has things happen and at times more or less of those things happen in comparison to more or less of other things.
Maybe "space" is just the higgs field and as matter occupies a portion of that space the natural energy in the higgs field is "used up' giving mass to the "object" thereby warping the shape of the higgs field(space) and causing a change in the motion of all particles within the event horizon of a "mass". If all particles were affected it would explain why time seems to travel differently near a "mass" because it's not time necessarily that is behaving differently it could simply be the particles are slowing down or speeding up in relationship to everything around them giving the illusion of time moving at a different speed.
