Yes and no. Time always passes for someone at one second per second in their own rest frame. But to someone in a different rest frame, you might think someone else's time is different. For example, clocks in a gravitational potential well run slow. So you might say that early in the universe, when everything was packed together, time ran slower than it does now.

Time, as Einstein told us and experiments have proved, is relative.

Our perception of time remains constant. Sitting here on good old terra firma we will perceive one second as one second. However, we are moving through the cosmos relative to just about everything else. If say, we were being sucked into a black hole and moving faster and faster, the passage of time on Earth would slow down in relation to another object outside the gravity well. We would not notice the change, but clocks on the two vantage points would drfit apart, with the Earth's going slower and slower in relationship to the one on the outside.

We have seen this effect (on a very small scale) with satellites orbiting the Earth using incredibly precise instruments.

no time is always the same and it has been since the universe was created it goes by each day. depending on the event like if you do something you really enjoys that day time seems to go by faster but on the other hand if you sit in the corner all day then time seems to go by slower

sort of.

it certainly seems that way
seeing as were nearing the
end of it.

tax terrorists, violent criminals,
liars and the extragantly wealthy the most,
first.

take from the rich and give to the poor.
jesus christ!!! could it be simpler?

zero tolerance policies
for murder are in order.

execute murderers en masse.

lie detection is the only
true solution.

the right to say one
nation under god is
inalienable.

even if they succeeded
in omitting the phrase
from the pledge, a bunch
of words that can never harm,
it wouldn't change the FACTS
about how earthquakes in israel
happened when i posted opposition
to prostitution and child molestation
in israel, here at the debbie schlussel
fan club.

this sequence of events has, no doubt, attracted
the attention of the world's intelligence community.

perhaps they think christ won't come back and send
them to fvcking hell forever if they can silence me.

There really is no such thing as time. The only thing that exists is the infinit now. The passage of time is an illusionary artifact of our subjective preception of movement.
