As a child, I asked whether pockets of the Universe could have temporal differentials and I was laughed at. I'd long believed that time and gravity aren't quite the constants they're believed to be. It's far more complicated than that, we never think about how micro- wnd macro- scales interact. Physics can be kinda reductive?
