No, there is 24 hours over the period of 4 years which we dont account for on a daily basis but it gets added to our calender every 4 years & that year would be called a leap year. The day it falls on would be 29th February which will not be present for the other 3 years.

Time is seldom correct. Time zones are a compromise. For every fifteen degrees of longitude, that represents one hour of time.

So for a sun rise at Greenwich at 06.00 hours, at five degrees east the sun would be rising at 05.40 hours, and at five degrees west the sun would be rising at 06.20 hours. But five degrees east will be almost in Holland, where the time zone is one hour ahead of GMT. So local time would show sunrise at 04:40 hours.

Historically, each town and village in the UK had its own time, depending on the local time of sun rise and sun set. It was only with the introduction of the railways, and the necessity to set up timetables for the entire country that a standard time was created.

So, as somebody else has already stated, time is relative. This is true, even without talking about relativity or black holes.

time is a man made system it is far from perfect. Leap year is the example of it's imperfection. Each day is longer than 24 hours but how many watches do you have or clocks in your house that reflect as much? if it suited them, time would be changed by someone with no problem at all. this year in america daylight savings time was changed to be 3 weeks longer. seems as if time is just a record being kept and edited at will.

Interesting question. It depends on your concept, because time itself is just a way of measuring the flow of events.
Time is affected by amongst other things gravity and also light.
For example if one person flies one way around the world and at the same time another flies the other whay, when they come back their clocks will show a different time.

So no, you can be sure of nothing.

It depends where in the world you are.
But i can't see how time is always correct,when so many watches/clocks are set differently,there will always be a few seconds/minutes difference.

Time is Money
It may be right or wrong, correct or incorrect, truth or false but it will always have value

No, its only really ever correct every 4 years when we play catch up with the extra leap year day...;

the time is always correct!!
it depends on which coordinate u're standing in this universe.
if your coordinate (x, y, z) in this universe is measured correctly, then the fourth one - time (t) will be correct as well.

universal time is always correct but often it has to be altered just minutely

It depends on Who, What, When & Where you are, and is like the saying: Does the Sun always Shine?
