Maybe time has changed over time?

Dunno. I still think time is a man made confarction.
After all, who was the one that determined just how
long a second lasted in the first place. Probably a
hairy man. Who would be the one to decide that the
length of a second has changed value? Again, probably
some hairly legged dude sitting at a desk.
Me? I don't think time exists as we know it. Time as
we know it was conceived by men, for men.
A second can be any length we choose.
Of course, through time as we know it, we have developed
tighter standards of tracking this unit of measure, which
was conceived by man for man. Of course, I imagine the
beginnings of keeping track of time were all solar related.
IE: sunrise, sunset, etc..
Time is infinite the way I see it.
In it's true state, it has no bounderies. In a way, it doesn't
even exist.
My name is not Einstein, but I approved this message anyway.

Although the "Universal Time Frame", if it is more than a dream and
exists, would NOT change (taken that it is a law and the ether obeys
such a law.) The speed the earth rotates at, has changed. So, without
doubt, our time reference point has changed; however, we keep
compensating for it.

Stupid thing to base time upon really, the rotation of any specific
sphere... Indeed, from such a reference point even the existence of
time, itself, is impossible to prove. Although time IS an effect of
motion, a second is NOT "time." A second only records the speed and
distance an object moves, in a rather round-about-measure.
