(Uniform) motion is entirely relative, any inertial clock can be considered "stationary". Time dilation due to relative motion is mutual, clock A observes clock B ticking slower and clock B observes clock A ticking slower too.hsdrop said:I have an interesting question for everyone I understand G.R. and S.R. fairly well without too much trouble. I know that if A is moving faster than B in a frame of reference. The clock for A will run slower compared to B's clock. My question is could there be some place in the universe where there is no movement and time spins out of control compared to the rest of the universe
If you understand SR and GR fairly well, then you will know yourself that your question makes no sense.hsdrop said:I have an interesting question for everyone I understand G.R. and S.R. fairly well without too much trouble.

I relativity all inertial frames or reference (IFR) are equivalent, there is no special or preferred IFR that is at absolute rest and relative to which one can measure absolute motion.hsdrop said:hmmm ok can we look at the universe as a single frame of reference?
Time does not necessarily require physical movement to run. According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, time is a dimension that is influenced by gravity and the curvature of space. Therefore, time can still pass in a stationary object or location.
Yes, according to Einstein's theory of special relativity, time can run differently in different locations or reference frames. This is due to the concept of time dilation, where time is perceived to move slower in a higher gravitational field or when an object is moving at high speeds.
In the absence of gravity, time would still run at a constant rate according to the theory of special relativity. However, without gravity, there would be no gravitational time dilation, which means that time would pass at the same rate for all observers regardless of their location or speed.
In Einstein's theory of relativity, time and movement are intertwined. Time is considered a dimension along with the three dimensions of space, and movement through space can affect the passage of time. This is known as the space-time continuum.
According to current scientific understanding, time can never truly stop or go backwards. The laws of physics do not allow for time to reverse, and time is always moving forward. However, time can appear to slow down or go backwards in certain circumstances, such as near the event horizon of a black hole.
