Einstein 's Field Equation of General relativity is another way of expressing Newton's Gravitational constant., in terms of the curvature of the substance of space.

Einstein expressed Gravity as a pressure of Space as being propotional to the Curvature of Space.

Time , basically in simple terms, is proportional to the ratio of The Pressure of Space and the Power per Unit volume of the substance of space in the Containment of the Universe.

Time= Pressure of Gravity/Power per unit volume

So the greater the Power Density the shorter the Time. If the radius vector of the Universe is increased the Power density of space would drop and decrease causing a Time increase.
That means that at the outskirt of the Universe ,we observe ,relative to the Earth ,Time as being very very slow.,.(in the order of 10^18 seconds)

massive = greater gravitation force at surface. this force weakens as u go farther away.

in general smaller masses spin faster. if earth was smaller, our 24 hr day would go faster.
