Let me rephrase since we are in relation to the center of the galaxy moving upwards of a million miles an hour, does that mean that time moves at a slower rate here than it does at the center of the galaxy.

No, but I believe it is perceived to be.. My theory is that, throughout the universe, at least where time is relative, there is no distinction between the past, present and future. In fact, the past, present, and future, are happening simultaneously everywhere. It is the perception of the general consensus that negates individualize ability to recognize this.

Yes it's called relativity, the closer you approach the speed of light the slower time passes for you.

So being closer to the center of the galaxy has nothing to do with it, unless you are on a body that is traveling faster than the earth travels through space.

Long and short our clocks are based upon the speed the earth is traveling, they would still work on a planet that is traveling faster, but if you brought it back to earth in say 10 years it would be wrong,

According to Einstein's relativity, it's yes. But according to me, it's no. At the time when Einstein gave his theory of relativity for Length reduction, mass increase and time dilation so that he can give answers to many problems which were existing, like the limiting velocity, time dilation etc., he ignored many things which are comng in front of us today and proving relativity wrong. These are discussed in the final theory and the theory of everything. Read about both of them. There's a lot of matter on the net and google.

you see a fast moving object has a slower time relative to us you see if you can move very fast you might see the people round you quite motionless but time it flowing at its constant rate but you are observing it pass away rather slowly ( as you are moving very fast) than the others so time is flowing at the same rate but how fast the rate is depends upon the motion of the object.
