Not only time, the mass and length are also relative.
The speed of light is absolute. The speed of light is measured as the same irrespective of the magnitude and direction of the observer.
This is possible only if the speed of light is absolute.
'Consequence of this' is that mass length and time have to be relative.

Einstein showed that time is not absolute but instead is relative. There's no Cosmic Master Clock that ticks off the correct time for the entire universe. Time is not a natural feature of the universe but instead is nothing more than a concept developed by sentient beings like us to separate events.
