Because these events occur at varying rates of velocity, there is not only no absolute time, but there is no time at all in the universe itself . Time resides solely in the mind of the sentient being who observes time phenomena. Events occur in the universe over a vast range of time intervals.
None represent any standard interval,except as established human observers.
Instead, one can think of events as flexible rooms along the corridor of time. I was relieved. It was good to know that others could see the mind-dependence of this phenomenon. I had worked this out 40 years ago as an Ohio University physics student, expecting to go on graduate school and earn a doctorate. However, I did not have the means to continue to the doctor's degree.
